Abstract
Objectives:
The article describes the theoretical background of the diagnosis and therapy of the ESES syndrome.
Methods:
The assessment and treatment of children with ESES in a child-psychiatric setting is shown. The underlying data have been taken from 18 outpatients with or without epileptic seizures.
Results:
The early diagnosis of non-specific symptoms and the anti-epileptic treatment probably play an important role in preventing the progression of ultrastructural brain damage. Sultiam is the drug of first preference.
