Benign epilepsy is not named because of its low seizure frequency, but is a syndrome of childhood epilepsy. The prognosis for benign epilepsy in children is generally good, with most seizures stopping spontaneously or after treatment before the age of 15, so it is called benign epilepsy in children. Benign epilepsy in children is a group of syndromes, mainly including benign occipital lobe epilepsy, benign central temporal region epilepsy, benign familial neonatal convulsions, and benign infantile convulsions in children. Benign central temporal epilepsy in children is a more common type of benign epilepsy in children. The peak age of onset of the disease is 5-10 years old, and it is more common in boys. Oropharyngeal symptoms such as salivation, corner of the mouth twitching, and stiff tongue are common at onset, but the child is conscious and lasts 1-2 minutes to resolve. The disease is sensitive to pharmacological treatment, and small doses of carbamazepine or sodium valproate can control seizures, which can be discontinued after 2 years with a good prognosis. In summary, benign epilepsy is a syndrome with specific childhood onset and can be divided into different types depending on the age of the child and the form of the seizure, each type of seizure has its own form of onset and characteristic manifestations, and the frequency of seizures also has individual differences.
