  • Title: [Criteria of severity of intractable focal epilepsy in adults].
    Author: Gélisse P, Crespel A.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 2004 Jun; 160 Spec No 1():5S71-9. PubMed ID: 15331952.
    Abstract:
    The most important criteria of severity of intractable focal epilepsies are the high frequency of seizure and the type of seizure, in particular seizures with fall. However, the presence of a brain lesion and its localization, handicap, number of antiepileptic drugs, poor social integration, history of status epilepticus, mortality, traumas, cognitive impairments, depressive symptoms and alteration of quality-of-life are also criteria of gravity. In this article, we propose a review of these various elements limiting our discussion to adults.
