Epileptiform activities in the EEG of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Rama Ahmed Mahmoud Mansour;
Abstract
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood. It is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
Moreover it was stated that a high incidence of pathological encephalography (EEG) findings, together with the presence of language and speech disorders had been reported in school aged children with ADHD.
Interestingly it was mentioned that the detection of epileptiform activities in persons with no seizure history raises questions regarding the probability of future seizures and whether that probability justifies treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AED) or restriction of activities such as driving, flying aircraft, or playing sports only.
