Abstract
Abstract: A survey was conducted in order to obtain reliable information on the natural history and prognosis of partial seizures evolving to secondarily generalized tonic‐clonic seizures (GTC) under a modern treatment approach. One‐hundred and fifty‐one patients have had partial seizures evolving to secondarily GTC and the rate of patients with this seizure type was 32.1% out of 470 epileptic patients in the Outpatient Clinic of the Department of Neuropsychiatry, Kanazawa University Hospital, in 1982. Out of the 151, 142 patients were successfully followed up. The rate of complete remission of seizures in those patients was 42.3%. The number of patients who were successfully followed up in the initial EEG and the present EEG together were 124 cases. The rate of complete improvement of EEG findings in those cases was 12.1%.
