Clinical characteristics, etiology, and treatment of young adult‐onset epilepsy: A 24‐year retrospective study
In this article, we observed that young adult-onset epilepsy was mainly caused by head trauma and craniotomy; co-morbid cognitive decline was more common. The median duration from first seizure to initiation of treatment for young-onset epilepsy was 3 months, and more than one-third of patients experienced more than two seizures prior to treatment, but this factor had no effect on the drug effectiveness.
