[The course of epilepsy in girls at the age of puberty].
In 62 women the course of epilepsy was analysed at the age of puberty from 11 to 15 years of life. In 19 cases the course of the disease remained unchanged at that time, in 20 cases the seizures disappeared or became less frequent, in 20 cases the frequency of seizures increased, other types of seizures developed, or seizures present previously in childhood reappeared. The unfavourable change in the course of disease was observed more often in girls with onset of the disease at an early age, frequent seizures at the beginning of the disease, partial combined seizures, neurological and psychic abnormalities and with delayed menarche in relation to the general population.
