Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is a common pediatric epilepsy syndrome. It is characterized by typical absence seizures and a highly recognizable electroencephalography (EEG) pattern. But little is known about absence seizures during sleep.
CASE REPORT: A 7-year-old female presented with frequent typical absence seizures with 3 Hz generalized spike and wave discharges on EEG. Based on electro-clinical features she was diagnosed with CAE. When she was 8 years old, absence seizures occurred during sleep. She had refractory absence seizures even with valproic acid, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, and perampanel.
CONCLUSION: Absence seizures can occur during sleep in CAE. Absence seizures should be considered, especially when 3 Hz generalized spike and wave discharges last >2 s on EEG during sleep. It may be a sign of drug resistance and poor prognosis.
