A population based epidemiologic study carried out in a lower socioeconomic suburb of Karachi, identified 23 children with epilepsy among 994 children (3-9 year old) surveyed for childhood disabilities. Nineteen had major epilepsy, 2 petitmal and one each had focal motor and myoclonic attacks. The high frequency of epilepsy may be due to consanguinity, central nervous system, infections and birth and accidental trauma.
