- Abstract
The terms "electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES)" and "continuous spikes and waves during sleep (CSWS)" have been used interchangeably when referring to related but different concepts. In addition, the quantification of epileptiform activity has not been standardized, and different approaches to quantification have been used. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which pediatric neurologists and epileptologists use a homogeneous terminology and conceptualization in CSWS and ESES and to characterize the current understanding of these conditions.
