In order to clarify the relationship between developmental dysphasia and EEG abnormalities, paroxysmal activities during sleep were studied in a series of 24 children with expressive developmental dysphasia (mean age 8 years) and compared to a control group of 39 children (mean age 9 years). The children of both groups were selected excluding cases with prior history of neurological disease or epilepsy. In the control group, 37 children had normal sleep EEG while 2 children had paroxysmal abnormalities. In the dysphasic group, epileptic abnormalities were observed in 9 cases, rare in 4 cases and frequent in 5 cases (density: 2.5 to 66.2% of total sleep time). Nevertheless, paroxysmal abnormalities did not reach the frequency described in the Landau-Kleffner syndrome, and it is unlikely that EEG abnormalities could have produced dysphasia.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).
