    Late-onset epilepsy in 411 adults over 25 revealed a male predominance, with most seizures occurring between 30-40 years. Chronic alcoholism and vascular diseases were common causes, highlighting key factors for differential diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Epileptology

    Context:

    • Investigated 411 adult patients experiencing epileptic seizures after age 25.
    • Focused on aetiology, seizure types, frequency, and demographic distribution.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the characteristics of late-onset epilepsy.
    • To identify significant factors for differential diagnosis in this patient group.

    Summary:

    • A prevalence of male patients (67%) was observed, with onset mainly between 30-40 years (65%).
    • Generalized grand mal seizures were most common (68%), followed by partial and complex partial seizures.
    • Key aetiologies included chronic alcoholism (31%), vascular diseases (17%), and tumors (12%), with idiopathic epilepsy being rare (4%).
    • Unknown aetiology was noted in 15% of cases.

    Impact:

    • EEG findings, age distribution, and seizure types are significant for differential diagnosis in late-onset epilepsy.
    • Findings provide a comparative basis for understanding late-onset epilepsy characteristics.
