1 Benign infantile seizures are characterized by (1) familial or nonfamilial occurrence; (2) normal development prior to onset; (3) onset mostly during the first year of life; (4) no underlying disorders nor neurological abnormalities; (5) complex partial seizures or secondarily generalized seizures often occurring in clusters; (6) normal interictal EEG; (7) ictal EEG most often showing a temporal focus; (8) excellent response to treatment; and (9) normal developmental outcome. Ictal EEGs and clinical seizures are not much different from those of infants with refractory seizures.2–6 Source: Focal Epilepsy, Atlas of Pediatric EEG Citation: Laoprasert P.
