Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (ECTS) is the most common epilepsy syndrome in children. Because of its self-resolving nature, this syndrome was originally defined as "benign", but this term has been recently removed because it is now appreciated that ECTS is often associated with a range of cognitive and behavioural disturbances. Because seizures associated with ECTS undergo spontaneous remission, the need for pharmacological treatment has been questioned, and management practices differ considerably depending geographical setting, the attitude of individual physicians, and patient’s characteristics. The aim of the study is to assess the demographic and disease-related characteristics as well as the clinical management of the patient within the evaluated cohort and to investigate the potential factor that may contribute to the clinical outcome
