Abstract
Atypical Presentation of Benign Rolandic Epilepsy: A Case Report
Madoori Srinivas, Ramya C, Shanmuga Raju P and Dikshitha K
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder in childhood. Five percent of children of estimated
one or more seizures in childhood, less than 1% have epilepsy. The incidence is high in
preschool years. Benign rolandic epilepsy (BRE) or Benign Epilepsy with Centro Temporal
Spikes (BECTS) is defined as truly benign partial idiopathic epilepsy characterised by partial
motor seizures usually brief, infrequent with or without generalisation and onset during
childhood. They occur mostly during sleep and these children recover spontaneously before
adolescence without any neurological or cognitive impairment. We report a four year female
child with Rolandic seizures who presented with abnormal behaviour and atypical EEG
recordings.
