Benign focal epileptiform discharges of childhood (BFEDCs)is a form of genetically determined, age related electroencephalographic abnormity, and about 8.8% of these children who experience clinical epileptic seizures were diagnosed as benign childhood focal epilepsy (BCFE) [1]. Patients with BCFE are characterized by low seizure frequency, easy medication control and self-healing in puberty. About 64% of the BCFE patients suffer from attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder, severely impairing their behavior, learning ability and normal lives.
