Disease relevance of Epilepsy, Rolandic

Electrophysiological characterization of spontaneous and carbamazepine-induced epileptic negative myoclonus in benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes [1].

High impact information on Epilepsy, Rolandic

Benign rolandic epilepsy (BRE) is considered to be a genetically determined idiopathic partial epilepsy [2].
Epileptic seizures are often not the main problem in atypical rolandic epilepsies like CSWS or LKS and the amelioration of cognitive dysfunction by epileptic discharge is the prominent aim of an AED therapy [3].

Chemical compound and disease context of Epilepsy, Rolandic

For benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes, oxcarbazepine and carbamazepine were treatments of choice, with gabapentin, lamotrigine, and levetiracetam also first line [4].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Epilepsy, Rolandic

Transcranial magnetic stimulation in benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes [5].
