A common type of self-limited focal epilepsy syndrome, which begins typically between four and ten years (peak is seven years; range three to twelve years). Seizures are focal, infrequent (most children have fewer than ten in lifetime), brief (typically less than two to three minutes) and occur mostly in sleep (eighty to ninety percent of children). Individuals may have frequent seizures over a few days or weeks and then several months before subsequent seizure. Focal seizures with characteristic frontoparietal opercular features and/or nocturnal bilateral tonic-clonic seizures are mandatory for diagnosis. Characteristic semiology includes somatosensory symptoms (unilateral numbness or paresthesia of the tongue, lips, gums and inner cheek), orofacial motor signs (unilateral tonic or clonic contractions), speech arrest (dysarthria or anarthria) with preserved understanding, and sialorrhea. Seizures may evolve rapidly to tonic-clonic activity of the ipsilateral upper limb, to an ipsilateral hemiclonic seizure, or to a focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure. Todd paresis may occur postictally. Seizures occurring during sleep are seen within one hour of falling asleep or one to two hours prior to awakening. Development and cognition are typically normal. Neurological examination is normal. The electroencephalogram (EEG) background activity is normal. EEG must show centrotemporal biphasic epileptiform discharges which are characteristically high-amplitude complexes (less than 200 microvolts, peak to trough) that activate in drowsiness and sleep. MRI is normal or has nonspecific findings. | Is a | True | A group of epilepsies characterized by age-dependent occurrence of drug responsive focal seizures in otherwise normal children.

A type of self-limited focal epilepsy with onset of focal seizures in infancy (peak age six months; range three to twenty months). Focal seizure semiology includes behavioral arrest, cyanosis, staring with impaired awareness, automatisms, head/eye version and clonic movements. Individual focal clonic seizures originating from either hemisphere may occur in the same child and can progress to become focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures. Seizures are usually brief (less than three minutes). Seizures are often frequent (five to ten per day over one to three days) and may be difficult to control at onset. Development and cognition are typically normal. Neurological examination is normal. The electroencephalogram (EEG) background activity is normal but can have focal background slowing postictally. The interictal EEG is normal but can have midline spikes during slow sleep. MRI is normal or has nonspecific findings. Pathogenic variants in the PRRT2 gene are most commonly identified. Pathogenic variants in SCN2A, KCNQ2, KCNQ3 and SCN8A genes are causative in some individuals. | Is a | True | A group of epilepsies characterized by age-dependent occurrence of drug responsive focal seizures in otherwise normal children.

A type of self-limited focal epilepsy with onset typically between day two and seven of life. Seizures are focal tonic at onset, affecting the head, face, and limbs. Focal clonic or tonic seizures may evolve to bilateral tonic or clonic seizures. Onset may alternate between hemispheres. Autonomic features (apnea and cyanosis) are present in one third of seizures and may be the predominant manifestation. Seizure semiology may progress in a sequential pattern with tonic, clonic, myoclonic and autonomic features following each other without a single predominant feature. Clusters of seizures may occur over hours or days with the neonate behaving normally between events. Developmental progress is usually normal. The electroencephalogram (EEG) background is normal or has minor nonspecific abnormalities. Focal interictal epileptiform abnormalities can be seen in the central, centrotemporal or frontotemporal regions. MRI is normal or has nonspecific findings. Pathogenic variants are seen in KCNQ2, KCNQ3 and SCN2A. | Is a | True | A group of epilepsies characterized by age-dependent occurrence of drug responsive focal seizures in otherwise normal children.

A rare genetic neurological disorder characterised by late infancy to early-adolescence onset of prolonged, nocturnal seizures which begin with autonomic features (e.g. vomiting, pallor, sweating) and associate tonic eye deviation, impairment of consciousness and may evolve to a hemi-clonic or generalised convulsion.

Benign familial neonatal-infantile seizures (BFNIS) is a benign familial epilepsy syndrome with an intermediate phenotype between benign familial neonatal seizures (BFNS) and benign familial infantile seizures. So far, this syndrome has been described in multiple members of 10 families. Age of onset in these BFNIS families varied from 2 days to 6 months, with spontaneous resolution in most cases before the age of 12 months. Like BFNS and BFIS, seizures in BFNIS generally occur in clusters over one or a few days with posterior focal seizure onset. BFNIS is caused by mutations in the SCN2A gene (2q24.3), encoding the voltage-gated sodium channel alpha-subunit Na(V)1.2. Transmission is autosomal dominant. | Is a | True | A group of epilepsies characterized by age-dependent occurrence of drug responsive focal seizures in otherwise normal children.
