Patients with specific language impairment showed significantly higher rates of abnormal electroencephalography ( P = 0.006) and epilepsy ( P < 0.001) compared to the control group. ResultsĮighty children with specific language impairment (51 males and 29 females) with a mean age of 4.11 ± 1.93. Intelligence quotient level, cognitive age, social, and phoniatric assessment were done for all patients. Computed tomography brain was performed and electroencephalography was recorded for children. The study was conducted on 80 children suffering from specific language impairment and 80 age and sex match healthy control children. The objective of this study was to find if there is a possible association and the impact of epilepsy and epileptiform activity in children with specific language impairment. Epileptiform activities can cause transient or permanent deficits that affect the children during development and may be accompanied by neurodevelopmental disorders like specific language impairment.
