Abstract
Epilepsy with continuous spike- and -waves during slow-wave sleep and Landau-Kleffner syndrome are two rare childhood epilepsy syndromes. The underlying pathophysiology remains unknown. The current opinions about epidemiologic risk factors, genetic predisposition, EEG and MEG findings, influence of anti-epileptic drugs, neuroradiology, positron emission tomopgraphy, evoked potentials, auto-immunity and subpial transection are summarized.Entities:
