title: Benign epilepsy of children with complex partial seizures following febrile convulsions.
abstract: Among the partial epilepsies with complex partial seizures (CPS) following febrile convulsions (FC), there is an idiopathic epilepsy with extremely benign outcome, characterized by: 1) no past history suggesting brain insult, no underlying brain lesions, no neurological abnormalities, no mental retardation; 2) a high incidence of a positive family history of FC or benign epilepsy; 3) no past history of prolonged febrile convulsions; 4) EEG spike foci other than anterior temporal ones; 5) CPS easily controlled with full recovery.
