A Contribution to the Study of Epilepsia tarda, or Senile Epilepsy, and of Arteriosclerotic Dementia [Contributo allo studio della epilessia tarda e della demenza arteriosclerotica]. (Rivista di Patologia nervosa e mentale, December, 1914)

Abstract

The term, epilepsia tarda, is applied to the epileptic phenomena occurring in advanced age. A few authors distinguish between epilepsia tarda and senile epilepsy, understanding by the first that form of the disease which is said to appear about the thirtieth year, and by the second that which occurs after 60 years of age.
