Prolonged intermittent drooling and oromotor dyspraxia in benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes

Epilepsia
E RouletP A Despland

Abstract

Prolonged isolated sialorrhea of epileptic origin was described by Penfield and Jasper (1954) in a patient with a lesional epilepsy. A child with prolonged but intermittent drooling, lingual dyspraxia, and other clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) features compatible with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BCECS) is described. The fluctuant course of the symptomatology and correlation with the intensity of the paroxysmal discharges on EEG are consistent with an epileptic dysfunction located in the lower rolandic fissure. No lesion was demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our case bears analogies with the recently reported status epilepticus of BCECS and the "acquired aphasia-epilepsy syndrome."

Aphasia affects the ability to process language, including formulation and comprehension of language and speech, as well as the ability to read or write. Here is the latest research on aphasia.

Benign Rolandic Epilepsy

Benign Rolandic epilepsy is a partial idiopathic epilepsy of childhood presenting with a nocturnal seizure and with a typical EEG showing centrotemporal spike and multifocal or generalized sharp slow waves. Here is the latest research.
