The most important advance in recent epileptology is the recognition o f epileptic syndromes and diseases, most of which are well defined and easy to diagnose. The benign childhood partial seizures syndromes exe mplify the importance of a precise diagnosis and classification of epi lepsies. They are common, and have an excellent prognosis which is bet ter than that of febrile convulsions. Paediatricians and clinical neur ophysiologists are now familiar with the Rolandic seizures but are not yet accustomed to diagnosing other benign childhood partial seizures and in particular benign childhood occipital seizures which are often confused with cerebral insults or migraine. The aim of this reference book is to describe the clinical and EEG manifestations of benign chil dhood partial seizures with particular emphasis on the occipital seizu res which are often more characteristic, easier to diagnose and, in so me cases, more benign than Rolandic seizures.
