Abstract

We investigated a prognosis of epilepsy on one hundred and thirty one severely mentally and physically handicapped cases. Some cases got seizure control near adolescence. On the other hand most of the cases could not get seizure control throughout their courses.<BR>On the controlled group, main diagnosis was cerebral palsy, especially with spastic diplegia and athetosis. Many cases did not have the past history of brain damage. Main type of seizures was generalized tonic clonic seizure.<BR>On the uncontrolled group, main diagnosis was cerebral palsy with severe spastic quadriplegia, which were caused during peri-or postnatal period. Types of the seizures were constituted a characteristic feature of mixed seizure, myoclonic seizure and atonic seizure, and classification of epilepsy was characterized of undetermined epilepsy.
