Probability of Remission of the Main Epileptic Syndromes in Childhood.

Aim: To determine the long-term probability of remission without antiepileptic treatment of common epileptic syndromes and of children without a specific syndromic diagnosis.

Patients And Methods: All children less than 14 years old with 2 or more unprovoked seizures seen at our hospital between June 1, 1994, and March 1, 2011 (n = 680), were included and prospectively followed up until August 15, 2020. Syndromic diagnosis was made retrospectively but blinded to subsequent evolution, employing the data available at 6 months after diagnosis and under predefined operational criteria.

[Prognosis of benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes: clinical utility of objective diagnostic criteria].

Introduction: Studies about childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (CECTS), most of them retrospective, include patients with highly heterogeneous features.

Aim: To investigate the prognostic value of objective diagnostic criteria for CECTS applied at six month of evolution of epilepsy.

Patients And Methods: All patients with one or more unprovoked epileptic seizures (n = 827) were prospectively included.

[New anti-epileptic drugs in Paediatrics].

It is estimated that about 70 million people all over the world suffer from epilepsy, half of which are children, in whom the prevalence is around 0.5 to 0.8%.

[Frequency, semiology and prognosis of Panayiotopoulos syndrome].

Introduction: Panayiotopoulos syndrome (PS) is an epileptic syndrome of childhood. Until now only a small number of studies have been published about this syndrome.

Aim: To study the frequency, semiology and prognosis of PS.

[Frequency, semiology and prognosis of benign infantile epilepsy].

Introduction: Benign infantile epilepsy is an epileptic syndrome of infancy. Until now, only a small number of case-series have been published.

Aim: To study the frequency, semiology and prognosis of benign infantile epilepsy.
