Electro clinical features of r(20) syndrome

Series Year of publication No. of patients Age at seizure onset Clinical features EEG characteristics
Inoue et al.[4] 1997 6 3 14 years Brief and prolonged confusing state, eyelid myoclonia, GTCS, IQ 47 95 Interictal: Irregular high voltage, slow bilateral/unilateral synchronous and asynchronous spikes Ictal: Focal/diffuse onset with predominant bilateral or frontal evolution
Augustijn et al.[5] 2001 4 3 11.5 yrs CPS, GTCS, NCSE, behavioral problems with learning disability Interictal: Diffuse slow (maximal frontotemporal) generalized and frontotemporal spikes, no ictal data
Ville et al.[6] 2006 6 Neonatal; 5 8 years Brief hypermotor and prolonged hypomotor CPS, Complex visual Hallucinations, IQ 60 80 Interictal: intermittent/continuous delta or slow spike wave discharges (frontally dominant) No ictal data
Jacobs et al.[7] 2008 1 4 years NCSE, cognitive decline, died with prolonged SE Interictal: Marked background changes, generalized rhythmic slow waves over frontal areas, very active widespread spike-and-slow wave activity over the right hemisphere. Ictal EEG: Generalized suppression, followed by 2 3 Hz rhythmic slow waves and then by a 1 Hz spike and slow wave activity over both hemispheres, but again more prominent on the right.
Vignoli et al.[8] 2009 3 7.5 10 years Brief nocturnal hypermotor and prolonged hypomotor CPS with aphasia, night terrors Interictal: Normal or frontal theta delta Ictal: Diffuse attenuation or generalized 3 Hz spike wave discharges (absence status)
Elens et al.[9] 2012 6 4 16 years Nocturnal frontal seizures, atypical absence, drug resistance Diffuse slow waves and deceleration, frontotemporal spikes, bifrontal high voltage spike waves
Avanzini et al.[10] 2014 12 26.3±16.7 years NCSE, GTCS, nocturnal fear, dyscognitive symptoms, staring, fear expression Interictal frontal and frontotemporal sharp and slow waves, ictal EEG prolonged burst of sub continuous paroxysms of sharp wave or fast activities over the bilateral frontal regions
Freire de Moura M, et al.[11] 2016 12 17 57 years NCSE, CPS, GTCS Frontopolar area bilaterally slow waves and spikes 11 pts, slow waves 7 pts, spike wave complexes 5 pts, spikes 5 pts, bursts duration 4 s to 60 min
