Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Perampanel (PER) monotherapy in the treatment of self limited epilepsy with central temporal spikes (SeLECTS). Methods  The clinical data of the first confirmed SelECTS in the outpatient and inpatient department of Xuzhou Children's Hospital affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University in December 2021 were collected, and the clinical data of PER monotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. The Seizure of 12 months old children were followed up to observe the efficacy and safety of PER monotherapy with spikes in the central temporal region, and the changes of Electroencephalography were observed. Result  A total of 45 children with SeLECTS were included, of which 43 had complete medical records, including 13 males and 30 females, aged 4 ~ 14 years old, with a course of disease ranging from 1 month to 1.5 years. All 45 patients had focal seizures or focal secondary generalized tonic clonic seizures. Among them, 43 patients treated with PER alone for 12 months had epilepsy control efficacy rates of 74.41% (32/43) and no seizure rates of 60.46% (26/43), respectively. Seven children (15.56%, 7/45) experienced adverse reactions, characterized by dizziness, unstable gait, and irritability. Conclusion  The third generation anti Seizure drug PER has a clear effect in the treatment of SelECTS, 2 ~ 4 mg PER can control Seizure well, and has no significant impact on cognitive development.
