Evolution of Epilepsy in Children with Mental Retardation: Five-Year Experience in 78 Cases.
Eriksson, K.; Erila, T.; Kivimaki, T.; Koivikko, M. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1998
Various aspects of epilepsy were studied in 78 children with mental retardation from 1989-1994. Epilepsy remained uncontrolled in 28% of cases, two-year remission was achieved by 26 percent, and mortality was 12% during the study period. Associated cerebral palsy was the most important single risk factor for severe epilepsy. (Author/CR)
