Sleep instability among adults with non-refractory temporal lobe epilepsy

Introduction: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a prevalent epileptic syndrome with partial complex seizures in adults, and the non refractory TLE patients, despite of their seizures control, still remain with cognitive complaints. The cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) is an EEG pattern in NREM sleep that has been associated with sleep instability. CAP affects the epileptiform activity, and distribution of discharges occurring during the phase A of CAP. The effect of CAP in temporal lobe epilepsies still remains unclear.
