    Author: Wässer S, Scheidemann I, Bergmann L, Jäckel I.
    Journal: Psychiatr Neurol Med Psychol (Leipz); 1983 Apr; 35(4):202-9. PubMed ID: 6408659.
    Abstract:
    17 patients out of a total of 93 treated for primarily pure absence-epilepsy experienced secondary grand mal-seizures and eeg of 8 patients showed a grand mal-disposition (irregular s-w). These 25 patients, compared with the remaining 68 patients, attended more frequently a special school for mentally retarded children, their marks were worse, they left school in a lower form, and their vocational education was less qualified. 8 patients out of 65, who were primarily treated with Suxilep and without additional grand mal-remedy, experienced secondary grand mal-seizures (relative frequency 0.12). The question of the necessity of primary grand mal-prophylaxis is beeing discussed.
