The authors describe the so-called benign convulsions of infancy and confirm the existence of benign nonfamilial infantile convulsions during the first 2 years of life and their benign course. The authors evaluated 58 patients: 17 subjects had a family history of benign epilepsy, and 41 did not. No clinical differences were observed between the two groups.
