Abstract
The long-term prognosis and factors associated with good and poor prognosis were studied in 95 patients with partial seizures. Thirty-nine per cent of the patients became seizure free. Significant prognostic factors were: male sex, most attacks while awake, attacks precipitated by a hot-water bath, presence of autonomie phenomena and complex symptoms, chronicity and severity of the illness, and seizure activity and the presence of symmetric synchronous EEG foci in the initial EEG records. Regularity of medication, duration of illness and autonomie phenomena were 3 predictive factors for long-term prognosis.
