抄録

Long-term prognosis of epilepsy was investigated on 117 institutionalized patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities, who were above 15 years of age in 1977, for a 20-year-period from 1977 to 1997. The incidence of epilepsy was 64.1%(75 patients), which was active in 28 patients (37.3%). The patients with the most severe psychomotor disabilities (bedridden and DQ<20) showed the highest incidence of epilepsy (85.0%). Patients who died during the follow-up period showed higher incidence of active epilepsy (p<0.01).<BR>During the follow-up of 94 surviving patients, persistence, relapse, and onset of seizures were frequent in patients with most severe intellectual disability, whereas those with less severe intellectual disability (20<DQ<35) were all seizure-free. Twenty-one patients had active epilepsy; symptomatic partial epilepsy in 17 (81.0%) and generalized epilepsy in 4 (19.0%). Notably, 5 of the 6 patients with persistent frequent seizures had age- dependent epileptic encephalopathy; persistent Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) (2 patients), severe epilepsy with multiple independent spike foci evolved from West syndrome (WS) and LGS (2 patients), and partial epilepsy with the history of LGS (1 patient).
