[The clinical picture and electroencephalographic changes in patients with multifocal epilepsy depending on the location of the epileptic foci].

As many 116 patients were examined for the clinical course and electroencephalographic changes as well as for the x-ray, CT and NMR-tomography data, on the basis of which different forms of multifocal epilepsy were distinguished: with unilateral epileptic foci (cortical and cortico-subcortical form), bitemporal and with multiple bilateral epileptic foci. The data provided make it possible to differentiate between multifocal epilepsy and generalized epilepsy and to perform surgical treatment using the optimal surgical intervention.
