Electrical status epilepticus in sleep affects intrinsically connected networks in patients with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes.

CONCLUSION: These results indicated that children with BECTS with ESES showed brain activity altered in the CEN and the SN. The difference of impairment in the SN and CEN may lead to improve the understanding of the underlying neuropathophysiology, and to assess the activity of patients with BECTS with ESES, which is crucial for measuring disease activity, improving patient care, and assessing the effect of antiepilepsy therapy.
