Summary

Electrical status epilepticus during slow wave sleep is a condition in which the epileptic patient starts to develop neurocognitive deterioration, any type of seizures and continuous electrical activity in the EEG during non rapid eye movement sleep. It is an age related condition and will resolve spontaneously at around the age of puberty. However if left untreated or treatment is delayed, it may lead to permanent neurocognitive deterioration. Thus early diagnosis and treatment is essential in these children to preserve neurocognitive function.
