Resumen

POZO LAUZAN, Desiderio Rafael; POZO ALONSO, Albia Josefina  y  SAYU STEWART, José Manuel. Apropos the so-called benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (rolandic). Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2018, vol.90, n.1, pp.185-190. ISSN 0034-7531.

Benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes, aka benign rolandic epilepsy, is characterized by partial motor crisis in childhood and electroencephalography showing point discharges in medial centrotemporal regions. The condition has been recognized as benign due to the absence of evident neurological deficits. However, in recent years several publications have appeared in international medical literature in which its favorable evolution is questioned. The objective of the present study is to update some criteria differing from the good prognosis initially stated. It constitutes a fundamental stage in the history of epilepsy, since for the first time a case of focal or partial epilepsy was being described in which presumably there did not exist an underlying cortical lesion. The evolution of this form of epilepsy may display features denying its benignity. It is recommended that in the future a study be conducted in our service confirming the criteria expounded in international medical literature.

Palabras clave : rolandic epilepsy; centrotemporal spikes; benign epilepsy.
