Abstract EN
The incidence of epilepsy has bimodal distribution peaking at the extremes of life.
Incidence is greater in younger and older age groups (Hauser et al., 1993, Sidenvall et al., 1993, Forsgren et al., 1996, and Olafsson et al., 2005).
As the world population ages more elders with epilepsy will be identified.
In the high-income countries with longer life expectancy, the number of elders with epilepsy will be even higher.
CPSs account for 40% of all seizure types in the elderly (Hauser et al., 1992); however, the proportion with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is uncertain.
