Abstract

The epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike-waves during sleep (CSWS) is an electroclinical syndrome which affects children mostly between the age of 4 and 7 years old and remains a great challenge for clinicians. The neurocognitive decline plays a negative role in child development and often is the first diagnosed sign in this syndrome (the characteristic electrophysiological features are recorded only during sleep). Herein we present a brief overview of the recent advances in diagnostic and therapeutic issues of the epileptic encephalopathy with CSWS. The original studies presented in the PubMed and NCBI databases were inquired/consulted, research length was 45 years.
