Prognosis of epilepsy.

It has been a widely accepted view that epilepsy is usually a chronic condition in which the prognosis is generally poor and any remissions that do occur are usually temporary. In this article recent studies challenging this view will be considered, other aspects of the long-term prognosis for seizure control in epilepsy reviewed, and the mortality rates and causes of premature death in epilepsy outlined.
