often tonic-clonic or partial motor. EEG progressive
deterioration of background activity, multifocal
abnormalities - ANSWER-Gaucher

hypothalamic hamartomas manifesting with gelastic
seizures. This often evolves to a generalized epileptic
encephalopathy with severe seizures and cognitive and
behavioral decline - ANSWER-gelastic seizure

neurons are imbedded in), 1._____________(40's,50's,
focal spikes and sharps), 2._________(lining central
canal/ventricles, more common children) ,
