Rolandic Benign Epilepsy

Rolandic Benign Epilepsy, also known as Benign Rolandic Epilepsy or Childhood Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (CECTS), is a common form of childhood epilepsy. It often shows up as sleep-related seizures that affect the facial and mouth muscles, occasionally disrupting speech or causing drooling. This epilepsy type is considered benign due to its tendency to outgrow as children age. It is often linked to specific electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns known as centrotemporal spikes.
