Spike wave characteristics and temporal spike evolution on serial EEG in childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes

Childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (CECTS), previously named benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes or rolandic epilepsy, is the most frequently seen epilepsy syndrome in childhood [1]. CECTS is most common between the ages of 3 and 13 years. Spontaneous remission is expected until the age of 16 years and is observed in children with previously normal neurological development and cognitive status [1 –3]. Focal onset-aware motor seizures are the most frequent type of seizures.
