The frequency of twinning among 9457 children and abolescents suffering epilepsy and epileptiform syndrom was established to be 1,94%, exceeding that in general population and being particularly high in the group of patients with epilepsy (2,65%). The frequency of stillbirths and deaths in one of the co-twins amounted 18,57%.
