Clinical features, etiology, seizure types and EEGs were studied in 241 cases with convulsive disorders in the first year of life, seen between 1963 and 1976 at Nagoya University Hospital. All patients were followed until 6 years of age or older.<BR>It was found that the children with intractable epilepsy in the first year of life were charcterized by 1) a higher incidence of delayed development and neurological abnormalitties before the onset of seizures and symptomatic etiology, 2) a higher incidence of infantile spasms or other types of seizures belonging to secondary generalized epilepsy during the first year, 3) a higher incidence of evolution into other types of seizures, 4) abnormal EEGs during the first year, 5) a higher incidence of worsening of follow-up EEGs, and 6) a higher incidence of high risk-factor-score more than three.
