Description : Focal epilepsy with speech disorder is a childhood-onset seizure disorder with a highly
variable phenotype. Seizures typically occur in the temporal lobe, or rolandic brain
region, which affects speech and language, and electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristically
shows centrotemporal spike-wave discharges. EEG abnormalities often occur during sleep
and may manifest as continuous spike-wave discharges during slow-wave sleep (CSWS
or CSWSS). FESD represents an electroclinical spectrum that ranges from severe early-onset
seizures associated with delayed psychomotor development, persistent speech difficulties,
and mental retardation to a more benign entity characterized by childhood onset of
mild or asymptomatic seizures associated with transient speech difficulties followed
by remission of seizures in adolescence and normal psychomotor development. There
is incomplete penetrance and intrafamilial variability, even among family members
who carry the same;
