Abstract
Childhood Electroclinical Syndrome (CES) is a term which refers to distinct epilepsies of childhood which have peculiar similarities such as the age of onset, seizure semiology, EEG and prognosis. With advancements in the diagnostics and genetics, pediatric epilepsy is entering in the age of precision medicine. The present paper provides an update of CES in light of recent advances in the terminologies and classifications by International League Against Epilepsy and genetic underpinnings of epilepsy. The core features of CES for diagnosing and managing some common CES is presented here.
