我们以前曾描述过一种以点头（HN）为特征的癫痫发作。在坦桑尼亚南部的一项前瞻性研究中，我们评估了62例HN患者。在这里，我们报告患者的临床特征和他们的癫痫发作，这表明癫痫发作频率高，癫痫发作控制不满意，认知功能障碍和疾病相关的教育障碍的高负担。
We have previously described a seizure disorder characterized by head nodding (HN). In a prospective study in southern Tanzania, we evaluated 62 patients with HN. Here, we report the patients' clinical characteristics and those of their seizures, which indicate high seizure frequency, unsatisfactory seizure control, a high burden of cognitive impairment and disease-associated barriers to education.
