Childhood epilepsy is characterized by specific epilepsy syndromes that occur during each developmental age. These "age-dependent" epilepsy syndromes are clinically categorized into a self-limited epilepsy group with good prognosis and high prevalence rate and a pharmacoresistant epilepsy group with poor prognosis despite low prevalence rates. Many children develop pharmacoresistant epilepsy beginning in early infancy and progress to developmental epileptic encephalopathy, which is associated with intellectual, behavioral, and/or motor disabilities. These children do not show remission in epilepsy and are transitioned to the adult service and require comprehensive medical care.
