Migrating focal seizures during infancy: a case report and pathologic study.

Migrating focal seizures in infancy are an unusual and often overlooked epilepsy syndrome, with onset before age 6 months, in which nearly continuous seizures involve multiple, independent areas of both hemispheres with an arrest of psychomotor development. We describe a patient with migrating focal seizures in infancy whose seizures began at age 45 days. The seizures were refractory to common antiepileptic drugs.
