The different atypical forms of the condition are believed to represent a continuum of the same underlying genetic mechanism. The atypical forms of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes include electrical status epilepticus in slow waves steep, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, status epilepticus of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes, classic atypical form, and others. This review delineates the different forms with emphasis oil the cognitive hazards of the more malignant types.
