Abstract EN
Epileptic encephalopathies refer to a group of disorders in which the unremitting epileptic activity contributes to severe cognitive and behavioral impairments above and beyond what might be expected from the underlying pathology alone, and these can worsen over time leading to progressive cerebral dysfunction.
Several syndromes have been described based on their electroclinical features (age of onset, seizure type, and EEG pattern).
This review briefly describes the clinical evaluation and management of commonly encountered epileptic encephalopathies in children.
