Abstract

Patients aged 2 to 85 (mean 32) years whose focal seizures were uncontrolled (U) (more than 2 seizures per month) and a group with controlled seizures (C) (fewer than 2 seizures per year), 150 in each group, were randomly selected from files at the University of Illinois Medical Center, Chicago, and EEGs in the two groups (804 in U group and 674 in C group) were examined for their predictive value of seizure control.
