Abstract
The authors report 18 cases of benign childhood epilepsy with spike activity in the Rolandic area. These cases were isolated from a group of 103 children with partial epilepsy. In agreement with the observations of other authors the benign course of this form of epilepsy is stressed. The isolation of this type of epilepsy is necessary in view of its practical management, treatment and prognosis. Neuroradiological and neurological examinations failed to demonstrate any evidence of organic brain disease in this epilepsy. Focal EEG changes with spike activity in the frontal or temporal area regressed gradually until complete normalization of the record. The authors agree with the view of other authors that the diagnosis of this epilepsy in typical from does not require radioneurological contrast investigations.
