- Abstract
We sought to determine whether early age at seizure onset is a risk factor for mental retardation, independent of etiology. Assessment of risk for mental retardation with continued uncontrolled seizures plays a role in considerations of timing for epilepsy surgery. Previous studies have indicated that onset of seizures in the first years of life may be a risk factor for mental retardation, but the etiologies of the epilepsies were not included in the analyses.
