title: [Clinical presentations, etiologies and prognosis of epilepsy in children].
abstract: Epilepsy in children is a neurological pathology with very diverse clinical forms and aetiologies. An electroencephalogram is essential for guiding the diagnosis, completed when indicated with imaging examinations. The treatment aims to control the seizures and takes into account the quality of the child's life. Regular follow-up must be provided by a paediatric neurologist specialised in epilepsy.
