Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) represent about 20% of all epilepsies, are genetically determined and comprise several subgroups of syndromes. Although complete seizure control is achievable in about 80% of patients with IGE syndromes, a substantial group remains with inadequate control and unsatisfactory long-term outcome. Several new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been studied in children with IGE.

Abstract

Idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) represent about 20% of all epilepsies, are genetically determined and comprise several subgroups of syndromes. Although complete seizure control is achievable in about 80% of patients with IGE syndromes, a substantial group remains with inadequate control and unsatisfactory long-term outcome. Several new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been studied in children with IGE.
