RESUMEN
Los trastornos paroxísticos no epilépticos son comunes en la población de niños pre-escolares. Estas condiciones incluyen una variedad de eventos cuyas manifestaciones y fisiopatología son muy distintas. Por esa razón, el diagnóstico puede representar un difícil reto. En algunas ocasiones, estudios como el EEG o la polisomnografía pueden ayudar a clarificar el diagnóstico y descartar un trastorno epiléptico. Sin embargo, la historia clínica y el examen físico suelen ser suficientes para llegar al diagnóstico correcto. En este artículo, presentamos información sobre los trastornos paroxísticos no epilépticos más comunes en la población de niños pre-escolares, incluyendo tics, discinesias, eventos relacionados al sueño, etc. Además, discutimos estrategias para el diagnóstico y opciones de tratamiento.
ABSTRACT
Paroxysmal events are commonly encountered in toddlers. These events include a variety of conditions with different manifestations and pathophysiology. For that reason, the diagnosis of these events can be challenging. In some instances, studies such as EEG and polysomnogram may be useful to differentiate between epileptic and non-epileptic events. In the majority of cases, a complete clinical history is enough to make an appropriate diagnosis. In this article, we review some of the most common paroxysmal non-epileptic events affecting toddlers, such as tics, dyskinesias, sleep related events, etc. We also discuss diagnostic strategies and treatment options.
