Clinical and EEG studies on complex partial seizure in children.

In 18 (40%) of 45 patients with CPS, paroxysmal discharges were hard to be found on their interictal EEG examinations. These patients were, however, not different from the other 27 patients with paroxysmal discharges on EEG as for the onset, prognosis for attack, complication of generalized tonic-clonic seizure and febrile convulsion, family history and adaptation to society.
