Clinical and EEG predictors of treatment response in pediatric absence epilepsy — a single-center experience

Absence epilepsy encompasses a range of clinical syndromes, and outcomes are influenced by seizure type, age at onset, EEG characteristics, and initial treatment response. Early diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate therapy are critical for achieving seizure control. However, some patients, particularly those with atypical absence syndromes, may continue to experience therapeutic challenges, highlighting the need for tailored treatment approaches and long-term follow-up.
