To evaluate when it is possible to discontinue anticonvulsant treatment in children with cryptogenic partial epilepsy, the authors studied 89 epileptic children divided into two groups: Group A, 45 children whose therapy was discontinued aft er 1 year from the last seizure; and Group B, 44 children whose therapy was stopped after 2 years from the last seizure. After 5 years of follow-up, the recurrence rate was similar in the two groups of patients (Group A , 28.8%; Group B, 25%). It is saf e to discontinue the anticonvulsant therapy in children with cryptogenic partial epilepsy who were seizure free for only 1 year. |
