Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of levetiracetam on benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes(BECT) with early-electrical status epilepticus during sleep(ESES).Methods Since June 2010 to June 2013,35 cases of BECT with ESES were treated in our hospital.They were divided into two groups:early-ESES group and ESES group.The seizure rate and spike-wave index in different groups were observed before and after treatment.Intelligence quotient(IQ),response control quotient,attention quotient in different groups were compared before and after treatment.Results The seizure-free rate in earlyESES group was 55.00％,the total effective rate was 85.00％,EEG improvement rate was 60.00％.The seizure-free rate in ESES group was 26.67％,the total effective rate was 73.33％,EEG improvement rate was 46.67％.The seizure-free rate,total effective rate and EEG improvement rate in early-ESES group were higher than that in ESES group,but there were no statistically significant differences between two groups.The cognitive function (verbal IQ:90.29 ± 13.47 vs.83.97 ± 10.20; performance IQ:93.83 ± 11.12 vs.87.03 ± 11.15; full IQ:94.26 ± 10.96 vs.86.71 ± 11.29) and visual attention in both groups (response control quotient:100.77 ± 7.91 vs.87.40 ± 9.68 ; attention quotient:94.66 ± 7.22 vs.79.46 ± 12.52) were significantly improved after treatment(P ＜ 0.05,respectively).Conclusion Levetiracetarn is effective on BECT with ESES and early-ESES,especially on early-ESES.Levetiracetam maybe have a preventive effect on ESES.
