Frontal and temporal volumes in Childhood Absence Epilepsy

Purpose:  This study compared frontotemporal brain volumes in children with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) to age‐ and gender‐matched children without epilepsy. It also examined the association of these volumes with seizure, demographic, perinatal, intelligence quotient (IQ), and psychopathology variables.
