Abstract

Objectives: The article describes the theoretical background of the diagnosis and therapy of the ESES syndrome.

Methods: The assessment and treatment of children with ESES in a child-psychiatric setting is shown. The underlying data have been taken from 18 outpatients with or without epileptic seizures.

Results: The early diagnosis of non-specific symptoms and the anti-epileptic treatment probably play an important role in preventing the progression of ultrastructural brain damage. Sultiam is the drug of first preference.
