Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE) is a generalized, age-related epilepsy syndrome [1] affecting school-age children. The mean age of onset is 6-7 years; it usually presents before the age of 10 years, and only in rare cases before the age of 4 years [2;3]. CAE is characterized by the appearance of generalized spike-wave discharges with a frequency of approximately 3 Hz, associated with psychomotor arrest that lasts 4-30 seconds. Usually, neurological examination is normal and the prognosis is good [4].
