Classification of ethiology could divided in four categories:

  • idiopathic epilepsy
  • symptomatic epilepsy
  • provoked epilepsy
  • cryptogenic epilepsy

[1] It is difficult to distinguish between genetic and cryptogenic syndromes.

Morbility data is difficult to interpret when WHO[2] states 50-70 millions persons[3] suffers epilepsy[4]

nonadherence appears to be associated with increased health care costs, nevertheless XR-medicine appears as strategy to overcome compliance wih AED[5]
