Abstract
Retrospective data on 77 epileptic patients allowed the following conclusions: Epilepsies with EEG independent multifocal spike discharges are mainly observed in children. Partial unilateral or generalized seizures are encountered. No relationship exists between the EEG foci and the seizure pattern. Acquired cerebral lesions are common. Multifocal spike discharges are functional foci, appearing and disappearing without close correlation with the evolution of seizures. They are an age-dependent expression of a disease which extends far beyond the seizures. They have to be absolutely distinguished from stable epileptic foci found in multifocal epilepsies.
