This is not a marginal or irrelevant question because possible isolated, non-motor, ictal manifestations should be taken into account before declaring that an epileptic patient is &quot;seizure free&quot; so as to ensure that any decision taken to suspend anticonvulsant therapy is safe.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26362378?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verrotti, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moavero, Romina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vigevano, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cantonetti, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerra, Azzurra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spezia, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricarico, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanni, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinelli, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiarelli, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parisi, Pasquale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capovilla, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beccaria, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spalice, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coppola, Giangennaro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franzoni, Emilio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gentile, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casellato, Susanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veggiotti, Pierangelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malgesini, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crichiutti, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balestri, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grosso, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zamponi, Nelia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Incorpora, Gemma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savasta, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pruna, Dario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cusmai, Raffaella</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long-term follow-up in children with benign convulsions associated with gastroenteritis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Paediatr Neurol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

However, these data need to be confirmed in studies with longer follow-up evaluations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;To assess the long-term neurological outcome of a large sample of children presenting with CwG.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We reviewed clinical features of 81 subjects presenting with CwG (1994-2010) from three different Italian centers with a follow-up period of at least 3 years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Follow-up period ranged from 39 months to 15 years (mean 9.8 years). Neurological examination and cognitive level at the last evaluation were normal in all the patients. A mild attention deficit was detected in three cases (3.7%). Fourteen children (17.3%) received chronic anti-epileptic therapy. Interictal EEG abnormalities detected at onset in 20 patients (24.7%) reverted to normal. Transient EEG epileptiform abnormalities were detected in other three cases (3.7%), and a transient photosensitivity in one (1.2%). No recurrence of CwG was observed. Three patients (3.7%) presented with a febrile seizure and two (2.5%) with an unprovoked seizure, but none developed epilepsy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The long-term evaluation of children with CwG confirms the excellent prognosis of this condition, with normal psychomotor development and low risk of relapse and of subsequent epilepsy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24780603?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
