BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: @entity1 with cortical @entity600 often have intractable @entity410 and are candidates for @entity302 surgery. Within an unselected series of @entity1 with various forms of cortical @entity600 , nine @entity1 with multilobar @entity8568 had electrical @entity159 during sleep (ESES) accompanied by infrequent focal motor @entity410 . Eight @entity1 also had intractable @entity410 . Because ESES usually is accompanied by a good long-term @entity410 prognosis, the objective of this study was to examine ESES outcome among @entity1 with a structural lesion that is usually highly epileptogenic and has a @entity410 trend. METHODS: The nine @entity1 had follow-up periods lasting 4 to 19 years. All underwent brain MRI, serial sleep EEG recordings, and cognitive testing during and after ESES. RESULTS: ESES and @entity410 appeared between the ages of 2 and 5 years (mean, 4 years) and ceased between the ages of 5 and 12 years (mean, 8 years). At the last visit @entity1 were 8 to 23 years of age (mean, 14.5 years) and were either @entity410 free or had very infrequent focal motor @entity410 during sleep. Three @entity1 were free from antiepileptic drugs. In no @entity1 was definite @entity73 apparent after ESES in comparison with earlier evaluations. CONCLUSIONS: Age-related secondary bilateral synchrony underlying ESES may be facilitated in multilobar @entity8568 . The good @entity410 outcome contrasts with that usually found in the presence of cortical @entity600 . For @entity1 with @entity8568 and @entity410 , surgical treatment of the @entity302 should be considered cautiously, and sleep EEG recordings should be performed systematically.
