A multicenter study of self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS): Effectiveness of antiseizure medication with respect to spike-wave index
Self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS), formerly known as childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (CECTS), is an electrophysiologically well-defined age-dependent epileptic syndrome.1-5 The recent International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Task Force on Nosology and Definitions describe the syndrome with both mandatory seizure type(s) and interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) features.2 Both the NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and SIGN (Scottish Interuniversity Guidelines Network) guidelines emphasize that EEG is highly important and video sleep EEG is the gold standa...

Acute flaccid paralysis, seizures, and encephalopathy in a pediatric patient with influenza A and COVID-19 infection
We report a case of AFP and encephalopathy in a 4-year-old female with a history of hypothyroidism (on levothyroxine; previously healthy otherwise), associated with acute influenza A and recent COVID-19 co-infection. Patient presented with new onset focal motor seizures with impaired awareness 6 days into a febrile upper respiratory illness in November 2022. On presentation, her vital signs were within normal limits. She had recently recovered from COVID-19 infection in the preceding 3 weeks (of note, this was her second COVID infection; initial infection was in January 2022). (Source: Pediatric Neurology)
