Epilepsy
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 with AED[5]
