This article presents the updated, modified classification and definitions of epileptic syndromes, proposed by consensus International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) task force. The ILAE report suggests a nosological revision epilepsy syndromes with onset in childhood, which are subdivided into three categories: (1) self-limited focal epilepsies; (2) genetic generalized (3) developmental and/or...

Although treated properly for epilepsy, a number of epileptic children have intractable seizures and about 5-10 per cent of them do not respond to anti -epileptic drugs. In the years 1986-1996 about 10,000 epileptic patients were treated in the Children's Medical Center in Tehran. A retrospective study of their medical records revealed that 41 of them had intractable seizures. I Of these 4...

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that causes spontaneous recurrence of unprovoked seizures. The incidence rate known to be bimodal with peaks in children and older people. Older people have been found particularly susceptible threats posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Abstract Introduction In children with epilepsy, comorbidities are frequent. dyslexia, increasingly acknowledged. Little is known about temporal aspects (dyslexia antedating or postdating epilepsy onset, time interval), types, and dyslexia phenotypes. Method From over 1000 files of 51 cases were retrospectively identified a formal diagnosis dyslexia. Ages at diagnoses variables, dyslexia-relate...
