The authors review the literature for cases fulfilling the criteria for the proposed idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndrome (IGE) of absence status epilepsy described by Genton et al. (2008). Difficulties arising in diagnosing such cases are remarked, and possible overlapping with other proposed IGE syndromes is discussed.

Generalized Epilepsy

Absence status epilepticus is characterized by a prolonged state of impaired consciousness or altered sensorium with generalized electroencephalographic abnormalities. It is most commonly diagnosed in patients with known idiopathic generalized epilepsy; however, it may also be the first presentation of epilepsy. Due to the subtle and variable manifestations of the condition, absence status epilepticus may be underrecognized, particularly in children. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy who experienced two episodes of prolonged altered mental status, subsequently determined to be absence status epilepticus with idiopathic generalized epilepsy with phantom absences. We discuss the classification, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and electroencephalographic findings of pediatric absence status epilepticus and provide a practical overview for management.

Abstract: The advances in molecular genetic methods has lead to the discovery of the genetic alterations that underlie the etiology of most diseases previously held to be idiopathic. Targeted genetic examination of a pediatric male patient showing a normal intellect, an extended area of skin hypopigmentation, and suffering from generalized epilepsy displaying a switch in epilepsy syndrome during the course of the disease towards a neurocutaneous syndrome was unsuccessful. Whole-exome sequencing identified a heterozygous missense mutation in a potassium chloride cotransporter gene, which together with the phenotype underscores the diagnosis of an epilepsy syndrome known in the literature as idiopathic generalized epilepsy type 14.
