Se presença una serie retrospectiva y prospectiva de 101 pacientes con diagnóstico de epilepsia parcial evaluados en el Consultório Externo de Neuropediatría del Hospital General Base Cayetano Heredia entre Enero de 1984 y Julio de 1988 con un seguimiento entre 6 meses y 4 alios. Las edades oscilaron entre 6 meses y 13 anos. Encontráronse 19¹% de epilepsias idiopáticas con un 7.7% del total para epilepsias benignas de la infância. Del 39% de epilepsias sintomáticas el mayor porcentaie correspondió en orden de frecuencia a secuelas de problemas perinatales, granulomas tuberculosos y secuelas de infecciones en el sistema nervioso central.

It is reported the analysis of a retrospective and prospective study on a series of 101 patients suffering from partial epilepsy who have been examined at the Neuro-pediatric Clinics of Hospital General Base Cayetano Heredia during the period that lasted from January 1984 to July 1988. The observation time varied from 6 months to 4 years. The patients age varied from 6 months to 3 years old. There were found 19% of idiopathic epilepsy with 7.7% from benign epilepsies in childhood. The symptomatic epilepsies corresponded to sequels of problems short after birth, followed by tuberculosis granulomata and sequels of infections in the central nervous system.
