AB  - In daily clinical practice, doctors are frequently confronted with the issue 
      whether treatment is necessary when the patient is without (further) seizures, 
      but nevertheless still shows interictal discharges on the EEG. Will these 
      discharges influence cognition temporarily and in time correlated with the 
      discharges or is there a longer-lasting or even cumulative impairment? Which 
      children are most at risk and when? Based on available literature in this field 
      and own research in patients with Benign Epilepsy with Centro-Temporal spikes 
      (BECTS), an inventory has been made of all issues that has to be addressed to 
      answer these crucial questions. Prospective studies in drug naive children with 
      BECTS (with or without behavioral comorbidity) are highly recommended.
