Epilepsy seizure as the first symptom is most common, the EEG showed a broad or localized sustained discharge, generalized tonic clonic seizure is the main form of seizure type in most patients, ECSWS is the most prominent in the epilepsy syndrome, for small lesion through MR can be found early.Conclusion Most patients have partial or generalized seizures, which have a range of cognitive impairment, mental decline or other issues.
