Wilson’s disease and benign epilepsy of childhood with centrotemporal (rolandic) spikes

Cases with a clinical and electroencephalographic phenotype of benign epilepsy of childhood with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS) in association with a proven organic brain lesion have rarely been reported. To our knowledge, we herein describe for the first time a patient with Wilson’s disease who subsequently manifested BECTS. Our case bolsters the argument that in at least some cases, BECTS is associated with organic brain disease.
