[Epilepsia partialis continua Kozevnikov. Correlation of cranial computertomography and EEG-findings]

Two children with onset of epilepsia partialis continua (Epc) in the age of 8 years are described. EEG-findings and cranial computertomography are compared. Where as the CAT is demonstrating the underlying morphological lesion of Epc, the EEG is showing the epileptic phenomena. Both, anatomic lesion and electroencephalographic focus can show quite different localisations. Despite this findings, to establish the diagnosis Epc, in our cases the computertomographic proof of a cortical and subcortical lesion seems to be important.
