Abstract:
Atypical absences are generalized non-motor epileptic seizures which are one of the characteristics of developmental epileptic encephalopathy, and are typically affecting patients with cognitive and intellectual disabilities. Compared with typical absence seizures, the pathogenesis, etiology, electro-clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of atypical absence seizures are more complex. This article aims to summarize the clinical characteristics and etiological research progress of atypical absence seizures, to increase clinicians′ awareness of them and provide new ideas for etiology-based diagnosis and treatment.
