The hypothesis of the functional disintegration of the brain due to the persistence of benign epileptiform patterns on the electroencephalogram

Abstract

In this work, we have analyzed the results of observation of 200 children aged from 3 to 15 years old, who had various neuropsychiatric disorders in combination with benign childhood epileptiform patterns on the electroencephalogram. A hypothesis has been put forward about functional disorders of the developing nervous system with prolonged persistence of benign focal epileptiform discharge of childhood on electroencephalogram, mainly in slow-wave sleep. The possibilities of therapeutic correction of these disorders are discussed.
