Abstract

Summary:Purpose: To evaluate the suspected epileptic origin in children with episodes masquerading as sleep terrors. Method: One such child was investigated with scalp‐derived long‐term monitoring (LTM), inter and ictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans, and an invasive LTM, followed by surgical subpial slicing of the focally discharging motor cortex. Results: The scalp‐derived LTM and the SPECT scans did not localize the suspected epileptogenic focus. The invasive LTM revealed the focal onset of the ictal discharge. After the surgery, the seizures have been 90% controlled. No deficits resulted from the surgery. Conclusions: Although most nocturnal terrors (NTs) are parasomnias, in a few children their frequent episodes that masquerade as NTs have an epileptic origin. There are several features to distinguish these from common NTs or from other frontal lobe epilepsies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
