Abstract
The annual incidence rate of epilepsy in infants and children in Navarre is similar the rates described for other western countries, with the highest incidence rate being found during the first year of life and gradually diminishing until adolescence. Published data concerning the relative frequency of epilepsy and epileptic syndromes are discordant. These discrepancies highlight the difficulty of establishing a syndromic diagnosis in this age group and the need to apply uniform criteria in order to obtain valid and comparable epidemiological data.
