Epilepsias y síndromes epilépticos entre los alumnos de Educación Primaria (6-12 años)

Most seizures in primary school children were idiopathic (benign focal seizures and/or typical absence seizures) and did not interfere with schooling. Cryptogenic and symptomatic epilepsies were less prevalent, but a high proportion of patients had substantial neurological and mental impairment or was refractory to antiepileptic drugs, giving rise to educational and psychological needs requiring specialized intervention.
