title: [Comparison of the effects of mono- and polychemotherapy in children with epilepsy].
abstract: The purpose of the study was comparison of the therapeutic results in epileptic children receiving one or more drugs. The study was carried out in a group of 93 epileptic children divided into two groups receiving monotherapy or polytherapy. These two groups were compared with respect to the age of epilepsy development, type of epileptic seizures and coexistence of neurological disturbances. It was found that monotherapy was possible in about 70% of cases, and therapeutic failures in monotherapy occurred mostly in children with symptomatic epilepsy beginning at a relatively young age and manifesting itself with more than one type of seizures.
