Epilepsy and EEG Findings in Males with Fragile X Syndrome

Summary: Purpose and Methods: One hundred and ninety‐two fragile X male patients were investigated for seizures and EEG findings, 168 in a retrospective and 24 in another prospective study, to characterize the natural history of seizures, epilepsy, and EEG abnormalities in males with this syndrome.
