Abstract:
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) has always been considered as a benign childhood epilepsy syndrome. However, with the accumulation of clinical evidence, the complex disease evolution, high incidence of pharmaco-resistance, significant comorbidity rate and risk of accidental injury in children with CAE were gradually discovered, and the views of domestic and foreign guidelines were also updated. This article reviews the current evidence and guidelines, and the clinical features, treatments, prognosis, comorbidities and accidental injury risk of children with CAE, in order to provide some reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CAE.
