We concluded that CSWS is a non specific electrographic pattern observed in some types of epilepsy in childhood that have different clinical presentation. [scielo.br]

The survey presented a clinical vignette of CSWS. The questions addressed treatment choices for that clinical scenario. Surveys were self-administered and collected using an online survey website (www.surveymonkey.com). [scholars.northwestern.edu]

• Sialorrhea

  The typical seizure characteristics consist of oral-buccal-lingual paresthe-sias, speech arrest, preservation of consciousness, sialorrhea, and tonic or clonic facial movements. [euroformhealthcare.biz]

• Fidgeting

  Clinically, eye opening and eyelid flutter occur more frequently in absence seizures, whereas fidgeting, smiling, and yawning occurred more frequently with HIHARS. [euroformhealthcare.biz]

• Seizure

  According to Lerman, the seizure frequency is low, 13% may have just one seizure, 66% have infrequent seizures, and 21% have frequent seizures. [euroformhealthcare.biz]

  Focal seizures can progress to affect both sides of the brain. When this happens, the seizure is called a bilateral seizure, usually tonic-clonic seizures or convulsions. Other seizure types include absence, atypical absence, and atonic seizures. [epilepsy.com]

  There are other medical conditions that might cause someone to have a seizure for example, diabetes. The difference between epileptic seizures and other seizures is that epileptic seizures are caused by a disruption in the way the brain is working. [epilepsysociety.org.uk]

  Results Clinical characteristics Epileptic seizures occurring in all children mainly included generalized clonic seizure, tonic clonic seizure, myoclonic absence seizure, absence seizure and unilateral limb clonus or mouth and facial seizure. [jitm.hk]

• Dysarthria

  Acquired opercular epilepsy with oromotor dysfunction presents with mixed types of seizures and prolonged episodes of dysarthria, a gradual decrease in verbal output, oromotor dysfunction, and deterioration in cognitive function over several weeks to [j-epilepsy.org]

• Apraxia

  Apraxia, hemineglect, dyscalculia, intellectual decline, aggressiveness, encopresis, enuresis, emotional lability, psychotic behavior, anxiety and phobias as well as autistic-like behavioral features have also been described. [9], [10], [11], [12] Raha [pediatricneurosciences.com]

• Vertigo

  Simple partial seizures are common in nocturnal temporal lobe epilepsy (NTLE); they consist of psychic (e.g., fear, panic, déjà vu), sensory (e.g., gustatory/ olfactory hallucinations, vertigo), or autonomic (e.g., epigastric sensations, nausea, tachycardia [jcsm.aasm.org]

• Tingling

  The second patient, a 13-year-old boy, started to have focal seizures at the age of 7 years characterized by a left hand tingling sensation followed by left hand clonus and left arm elevation. [semmelweis.hu]

Treatment of CSWS There are no controlled trials for the treatment of CSWS, only large cohort studies. [acnr.co.uk]

But because the child responded well to medical treatment, a wait-and-see approach was justified. [consultqd.clevelandclinic.org]

Valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam and sulthiame# may be the most appropriate treatments. The treatment of CSWS, which is responsible for the neuropsychological impairment, is entirely empirical and usually of transient efficacy. [epilepsy.com]

Hence, early diagnosis, effective treatment and termination of continuous spike and slow-wave discharge can ameliorate the prognosis of children [3]. [jitm.hk]

Management options* Seizures are not a major problem as their final prognosis is good. Valproate, lamotrigine, levetiracetam and sulthiame# may be the most appropriate treatments. [epilepsy.com]

Prognosis The prognosis is related to the underlying disorder. The severity of developmental impairment varies with the type of epilepsy. Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (Ohtahara syndrome) The prognosis is very poor. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The prognosis is worse if the spasms are either symptomatic or cryptogenic. [euroformhealthcare.biz]

Rett syndrome Metabolic etiologies (e.g. mitochondrial disorders) [epilepsydiagnosis.org]

The developmental prognosis partially depends on the etiology. When classified by etiology, normal development was described in 51% of cryptogenic cases versus only 6% of symptomatic cases. [emedicine.medscape.com]
