ADHD and ADHD-related neural networks in benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes: A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite BECTS being considered to have a relative benign course, many studies have documented cognitive and/or behavioral problems in patients diagnosed with this type of epilepsy. In particular, children affected by rolandic epilepsy should receive a complete neuropsychological evaluation at seizure onset considering the high rate of comorbidity with ADHD. A further investigation of the common pathogenic substrate is desirable to better orientate the clinical and therapeutic interventions applied.
