[Various prognostic elements in childhood epilepsy in the light of selected materials of the Department of Developmental Neurology, Medical Academy in Gdańsk].

The purpose of the work was establishing prognostic factors in childhood epilepsy with particular reference to older children after the age of puberty. Of the total number of 138 children in 84 the seizures didn't return during follow-up from 2 to 11 years or more. Good prognosis was associated with seizures (with the exception of temporal-lobe seizures, salaam seizures and seizures limited to one half of the body) of gestation-perinatal or traumatic aetiology appearing for the first time between the age of 3 and 10 years, occurring rarely and treated early and systematically, and also cases without abnormalities in neurological examination.
