Abstract
Seizure disorder is one of the common childhood neurological illnesses occurring in 4 – 6 per 1000 children in the general population. The degree and type of central nervous system damage existing at the onset of the seizure is decisive for the final outcome, but the cessation of the seizures also improves the child’s developmental possibilities.
