Could Rolandic spikes be a prognostic factor of the neurocognitive outcome of children with BECTS?

Our results clearly demonstrate the importance of a proper evaluation of patients with this kind of epilepsy, without paying attention only to those with the greatest number of IEDs or seizures because all of them had a neurocognitive impairment, especially in memory. These data may be reinforced by a larger sample for an even more significant statistical value. These results also highlight the importance of a neurocognitive therapy for these children to treat for their specific needs.
