[New treatments of epilepsy in infancy].
Epilepsy is a repetition of seizures. It is frequent child pathology: 40% of all epileptic people have less than 15 years of age. Seizures appear on a developing brain. Treatment must avoid frequent and long lasting seizures but at the same time must spare cognitive development. New antiepileptic drugs seem to have more specialized indications, less side effects and thus represent a very interesting tool for neuropediatrician. Monotherapy has to be preferred as often as possible to assure good cognitive function.
