TI  - Poor School Academic Performance and Benign Epilepsy with Centro-Temporal Spikes.
LID - 10.3390/bs13020106 [doi]
LID - 106
AB  - BACKGROUND: Poor academic performance of students with epilepsy seems to be a 
      multifactorial problem related to difficulties in reading, writing, math, and 
      logic skills. Poor school and academic performances refer to learning problems in 
      a specific academic area due to learning disorders and learning difficulties not 
      excluding the ability to learn in a different manner during school and academic 
      life. Sometimes, school, academic difficulties, and Rolandic epilepsy can coexist 
      together, and there may be comorbidities. Consequently, the risk of impaired 
      academic performance in people with epilepsy is high. METHODS: This review 
      analyzed the relationship between Benign Epilepsy with Centro-Temporal Spikes 
      (BECTS) and poor school and academic performance (PSAP) in children and 
      adolescents (aged 6 to 19), and in adults (aged 20 to no age limit). The PRISMA 
      guideline was used to guide our review strategy. RESULTS: This research shows 
      that Benign Epilepsy with Centro-Temporal Spikes (BECTS) and poor school and 
      academic performances are strongly correlated. An early onset age, as well as a 
      long persistence of seizures, correlate more closely with PSAP. On the other 
      hand, it appears that good pharmacological control of seizures and remission from 
      the acute phase of the pathology support better school performance. CONCLUSIONS: 
      This review highlights how neuropsychological aspects are also involved in 
      patients with BECTS and PSAP, both in the greater predisposition to the 
      establishment of other neuropsychiatric conditions and in the possibility that 
      stigma conditions and poor academic results may have repercussions on the 
      adaptation and functioning of these subjects. Global management of the subject 
      with BECTS and PSAP is essential, which also pays attention to the aspects of 
      social and scholastic inclusion, both to achieve age-appropriate educational and 
      behavioral objectives, to give the necessary tools for the growth of the 
      individual, and to allow a serene transition to adulthood, favoring autonomous 
      learning and better outcomes.
