PG - 214-9 LID - 10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2011.07.015 [doi] AB - Aware of parental reports of academic variability, we investigated month-to-month fluctuations in cognitive abilities and EEG status by repeated measures testing in six children with benign epilepsy with central-temporal spikes (BECTS). All showed greater than normal test-retest variability. Daytime EEG abnormalities were also variable. Short-term fluctuations in cognitive function appear common in children with BECTS, potentially impacting academic performance. CI - Copyright (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
