title: Cryptogenic localization-related epilepsy of neonatal onset.
abstract: We report three patients with localization-related epilepsy of neonatal onset. They exhibited favourable psychomotor development and had no cerebral lesions on neuroimaging studies despite the presence of intractable partial seizures of neonatal onset. Although rare, some cases of epilepsy of neonatal onset may be cryptogenic, i.e. they belong to neither the symptomatic nor the idiopathic group.
