title: Practical problems of epilepsy management in children.
abstract: The problems associated with the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy in children are considered in this paper, together with aspects of intellectual development. In addition, the difficulties encountered in family and school environments are reviewed. The problems which arise when medication is discontinued, and the possible importance of the loss, as well as the acquisition, of a condition, are also discussed.
