Description
This volume is arranged so as to review the classification of the Epilepsies, Epileptic Syndromes and Related Disorders (International League Against Epilepsy) and then the individual groups of benign epilepsies including benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spike discharges, benign epilepsy in childhood with occipital paroxysms and epilepsy in slow wave sleep. Also included is a section followed by a discussion of the benign generalized epilepsies and the borderland between them and the more sinsiter conditions. The definition of the syndrome has received further impetus by the discovery that some of the syndromes represented in the primary or idiopathic epilepsies have a distinct place in the human genome with a putative localization of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy on chromosome 6 and of benign familial neonatal convulsions on chromosome 20.
