A high incidence of epilepsy in chronic alcoholics and similar incidence of alcohol abuse in patients with epilepsy are a serious medico-social problems. A relation between seizures and alcohol abuse is discussed in this paper. Epilepsy is the commonest complication of an alcoholism. Pathogenesis of epileptic seizures is multiple and complex. Alcohol-dependent epilepsy is closely related to a problem of alcohol abuse in patients with epilepsy. A criteria of alcohol-dependent epilepsy diagnosis should be clearly defined as they play an important role in therapy selection.
