title: [Long-term follow-up of patients with benign epilepsy of childhood with centro-temporal electroencephalography foci].
abstract: In 65 cases of benign epilepsy of childhood with controtemporal EEG, 15 were followed-up for 5-7 years, 27 were 8-9 years and 23 were 10-14 years. Last seizure happened 4-14 years ago. Their present age ranged from 14 to 23 years. The disease was not related to sex but negatively correlated to age when first seizure occurred. When reexamined by EEG, abnormal discharges varied in some cases. The relation between the type of EEG and course of disease was not confirmed. The age of most patients at last seizure was under 14 years.
