AbstractRISING INCIDENCE AND PREVALENCE: The frequency of epilepsy after the age of 60 years is increasing, a particularly important point in light of the rise in this age group. Incidence is estimated to exceed 100 cases per 100,000 subjects over the age of 60, reaching 160 per 100,000 in subjects aged 80 to 84 years. Prevalence exceeds 7 per 1000 in the 55 to 64 age group and 12 per 1000 in the 85 to 94 age group. CLINICAL FEATURES IN THE ELDERLY: Partial complex seizures are particularly frequent. Some patients experience seizure-related confusion states or slowly regressive neurological deficits.
