Abstract：
UNLABELLED:Introduction. Epileptic crises presenting exclusively during sleep are rare and pose more problems of diagnosis than do crises of diurnal presentation. PATIENTS:We present the clinical and electroencephalographic data of 20 patients with exclusively sleep-induced epileptic crises, evaluating not only the type of crises and the diagnosis of the particular syndrome, but also the response to treatment and prognosis. The patients studied were over 17 years old, had only nocturnal crises and were followed up for a period of three years. An EEG done during sleep and cerebral CT scan were available in all cases and a cranial MR was available in two cases. Diagnosis was made using clinical data and the sleep EEG. RESULTS:The majority (40%) had temporal lobe epilepsy. In two patients (10%) occipital paroxysms were found. In all cases both the neurological examination and the mental state were normal. The sleep EEG was pathological in 75% of the cases. Only three of the twenty patients had changes on the CT scan. Monotherapeutic antiepileptic treatment completely controlled the crises in 15 patients. CONCLUSIONS:We wish to emphasize the usefulness and importance of the sleep EEG in defining the syndrome affecting these patients, the diagnostic difficulties in sleep epilepsy, the good response to antiepileptic treatment and the high incidence of recurrence if antiepileptic treatment is no longer given. In view of all these factors we believe that sleep epilepsy may be considered to be a syndrome of epilepsy.
