Sammanfattning
A recommendation to start antiepileptic medication should be given only after the occurrence of two or more seizures and a careful consideration of the type of seizures, the epileptic syndrome, the child's situation and the family's preferencey. In benign rolandic epilepsy the prognosis is good both with and without treatment, and treatment is not mandatory. Randomized trials comparing different treatment regimes for epilepsy are sadly lacking. The timing of withdrawal of medication is based on some evidence, and some risk factors for recurrence of seizures have been identified.
