Benign Partial Seizures of Adolescence

Summary: Purpose: A benign syndrome of partial seizures in adolescents (BPSA) was described by Loiseau et al. in 1978, but confirmation of this syndrome has been lacking. We sought to identify BPSA among teenagers with new‐onset focal seizures enrolled in our prospective first‐seizure study and to assess the EEG and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.
