Abstract
This study confirms that NS is an encephalopathy and intellectual disabilities are partially independent of seizure frequency and EEG pathological activity. Based on interictal and ictal EEG patterns and on the experience of other researchers, valproic acid would seem to be the first-choice antiepileptic drug. NS in South Sudan presents with clinical and neurophysiological features which are similar to those described in northern Uganda and more severe than in Tanzania.
