The authors report 57 cases with chromosomal abnormalities that have been divided into two groups on the basis of presence (30 cases - 52.6%) or absence (27 - 47.4%) of epilepsy. Epilepsy was significantly related to familial antecedents for this disorder (p < 0.05), EEG abnormalities (p < 0.000001) and profound mental retardation (p < 0.01). There was a predominance of generalized epilepsies (70.0%) and this datum was statistically significant respect to a non selected population of patients with epilepsy.

Abstract
The authors report 57 cases with chromosomal abnormalities that have been divided into two groups on the basis of presence (30 cases - 52.6%) or absence (27 - 47.4%) of epilepsy. Epilepsy was significantly related to familial antecedents for this disorder (p < 0.05), EEG abnormalities (p < 0.000001) and profound mental retardation (p < 0.01). There was a predominance of generalized epilepsies (70.0%) and this datum was statistically significant respect to a non selected population of patients with epilepsy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
