SOCIAL COGNITION IN CHILDHOOD EPILEPSY WITH CENTROTEMPORAL SPIKES

The childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (CECTS) is self-limited epilepsy of unknown etiology [1,2]. It is the most common focal epilepsy among pediatric epilepsies, and it represents up to 16% of all childhood epilepsy cases [3]. The term benign, previously used for this epileptic syndrome, has been abandoned due to the presence of cognitive deficits and behavioral disorders that negatively impact academic and social competence [4,5,6].
