We report a case of early-onset dementia with subclinical seizures. Aggressive seizure control improved the patient's cognition. Commonly, an EEG is only performed following overt behavioral seizures. Therefore, subclinical seizures tend to be underdiagnosed. Serial or extended EEG should be seriously considered in patients with early-onset dementia.
我们报告一例伴有亚临床发作的早发性痴呆病例。积极控制癫痫发作改善了患者的认知。通常,脑电图仅在出现明显的行为性癫痫发作后才进行。因此,亚临床发作往往诊断不足。对于早发性痴呆患者,应认真考虑进行连续或延长脑电图检查。
