title: Transition in adulthood: the challenge of epilepsies.
abstract: Transfer and transition for children with epilepsy to adult care is challenging because of the variety of epilepsies and of multiple comorbidities. We held an international closed symposium with 48 experts and initiated an international effort to improve transition and offer to our patients with lifelong disease a successful transfer of care.
