- Abstract: Objective To investigate the electro-clinical characteristics of epilepsy patients with double cortex syndrome（DCS）. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the history，imaging，electrophysiology，seizure type and clinical treatment of 4 epilepsy patients with DCS. Results All 4 patients were female，and the onset age was 1 to 13 years old. All had different degrees of mental development disorders. The EEG background rhythm was significantly slower in 2 patients. In 3 patients，the interictal epileptic discharges were mainly located in the temporo-parieto-occipital area bilaterally，appeared synchronously or alternately，and could also be mainly distributed on one side. In 3 patients who had seizures all had a widespread seizure origin. All 4 patients had multiple seizure types，and secondary general tonic or general tonic-clonic can be well controlled in 3 patients. Conclusion The incidence of epilepsy patients with DCS has obvious female gender advantage，and the earlier the onset age，the greater the impact on intellectual development. Interictal epileptic discharges in these patients were mainly located on posterior head bilaterally. Furthermore，it has the characteristics of wide distributed seizure onset zone，various seizure types，and well controlled seizure type of general tonic or general tonic-clonic by antiepileptic drugs.
