Concepts of absence epilepsies: discrete syndromes or biological continuum?
Neurology 1987 June
There are two current approaches to the clinical conceptualization of the generalized epilepsies. The syndromic approach attempts to subdivide the patient population into relatively homogeneous groups, largely on the basis of clinical and EEG criteria. In contrast, the neurobiological approach aims to formulate a unique profile for each patient by incorporating particulars of the patient onto the background of knowledge regarding the etiologic factors important in generalized epilepsy. The value of these two approaches is discussed with regard to the dual aims of, first, improving the understanding of generalized epilepsy, and second, providing a precise diagnosis, an accurate prognosis, and optimal treatment for the patient.
