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 |
