Electric status epilepticus in sleep (ESES) syndrome is the partially reversible, age-dependent children's epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike-wave complexes in a slow sleep phase. It is a nonspecific electrographic phenomenon in many epileptic syndromes. It can be a single indicator of the epileptic nature of disorders and a marker of epileptic encephalopathy. A sleep EEG should be performed in children with autistic, speech, behavioral disorders to specify their etiology and prescribe pathogenetic treatment.
