A Self-Limited Childhood Epilepsy as Co-Incidental in Cerebral Palsy.

These cases highlight the importance of comprehensive differential diagnosis of seizures in cerebral palsy. Co-existence of age-dependent focal epilepsies with an underlying brain pathology as white matter injury, not affecting the cerebral cortex, might take place in the case of children with impaired motor skills. With health systems increasingly utilizing clinical pathways, it is important to consider the possibility of a self-limited childhood epilepsy and avoid aggressive and unnecessary medication treatment in children with cerebral palsy.
