Benign central temporal area epilepsy in children is a very specific type of epilepsy that appears only in childhood, is relatively common, and has a good prognosis. I. Clinical features Most seizures occur during sleep, and a few occur during wakefulness. The typical presentation is:The child wakes up from sleep with abnormal sensation on one side of the mouth, followed by jerking of the same side, mouth and throat, resulting in crookedness of the corners of the mouth to one side, a sound in the throat, inability to speak, but consciousness is present, and most can recall the seizure afterwards. The seizure lasts for a few minutes and may generalize and extend to a generalized seizure. During the initial seizure, the parents may only notice the generalized generalized twitching. Diagnosis EEG is very important to confirm the diagnosis. It is best to sleep less or no sleep the night before it is done and let the child fall asleep while the EEG is being done. EEG shows spikes and slow waves on one or both central and temporal areas. III. Treatment If seizures are infrequent and only occur at night, they can be left untreated. A small dose of carbamazepine is used once at bedtime if necessary. After 2 years of treatment, the drug can be discontinued and 80% no longer occur. In case of recurrence, treatment again, usually stops naturally at 14-16 years of age and no more seizures.
