A study has been made of 39 patients with isolated fits presenting to an EEG department. Patients were excluded when there was a doubtful history, alcoholism, or drug abuse. The 39 patients were compared with a control group of patients with epilepsy matched for age and sex. No basic difference was found between the two groups. In particular the EEG examination showed similar changes. In conclusion, patients with isolated fits should be assessed in the same way as those with established epilepsy, while recognizing that in the majority of instances no serious underlying cause will be found.
对39例到脑电图科就诊的孤立性发作患者进行了一项研究。有可疑病史、酗酒或药物滥用的患者被排除在外。将这39例患者与年龄和性别相匹配的癫痫对照组患者进行比较。两组之间未发现基本差异。特别是脑电图检查显示出相似的变化。总之，孤立性发作患者应与确诊癫痫患者一样进行评估，同时要认识到在大多数情况下不会发现严重的潜在病因。
