✦ Synopsis

Prevalence and annual incidence rates of febrile seizures and types of epilepsy were investigated in all children of the Altenburg district (German Democratic Republic) being 0-14 years old. The mean total population for the period 1982 through 1985 was 108,905. The proportion of children aged 0-14 years was 20,132. The average annual incidence of febrile seizures in children being 0-5 years old was 240.8/100,000. For children between 0 and 14 years the rate of epilepsy 51.1/100,000. Based on 87 epileptic patients, the exact point prevalence rate per 1000 on December 31, 1985, was 4.4.

Controversy exists as to whether hippocampal sclerosis (HS) is a preexisting cause or a consequence of seizures. We investigated 122 consecutive patients who underwent anterior temporal lobectomy for intractable epilepsy between 1989 and 1992. MRI scans were normal apart from evidence of HS in 5 cas

Responses of seizures to therapy is one of the most important prognostic factors in epilepsy. Absences are among the seizure types with a good response to antiepileptic drug treatment and, usually, remission before adult age. Absence patients attending an epilepsy clinic for adults can be expected t
