The concept of idiopathic partial epilepsies in childhood is not yet accepted by all neurologists. We review the diagnostic criteria of these syndromes and stress both wake and sleep EEG characteristics. Different clinical entities have been individualized among other forms: benign partial epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes, benign epilepsy with occipital paroxysms, benign psychomotor epilepsy.
