This report concerns a study of 95 families in which at least two of the children had epilepsy (a total of 210 cases). A total of 45 p. 100 of the patients were from 60 p. 100 of the families and had an intellectual level below the average, and 32 p. 100 of them had an IQ below 70. The family history was the same whether the children were mentally deficient or not. There was no family history of mental deficiency in those families where the epileptic children had a normal IQ but there was a positive family history in 25 p. 100 of families having at least one mentally deficient and epileptic child. The persistence of seizures after 5 years of treatment is seen much more frequently in mentally deficient children than in those with normal intelligence. Finally, the position of the child within the family has no influence and epilepsy may be found in any of the children.
本报告涉及对95个家庭的研究，这些家庭中至少有两个孩子患有癫痫（共计210例）。总计45%的患者来自60%的家庭，且智力水平低于平均水平，其中32%的患者智商低于70。无论孩子是否智力缺陷，家族病史都是一样的。在癫痫患儿智商正常的家庭中，没有智力缺陷的家族病史，但在至少有一个智力缺陷且患有癫痫的孩子的家庭中，25%有阳性家族病史。与智力正常的孩子相比，智力缺陷的孩子在治疗5年后癫痫持续发作的情况更为常见。最后，孩子在家庭中的位置没有影响，任何一个孩子都可能患有癫痫。
