Aim To determine the long-term probability of remission without antiepileptic treatment of common epileptic syndromes and of children without a specific syndromic diagnosis. Patients and methods All children less than 14 years old with 2 or more unprovoked seizures seen at our hospital between June 1, 1994, and March 1, 2011 (n = 680), were included and prospectively followed up until August 15, 2020. Syndromic diagnosis was made retrospectively but blinded to subsequent evolution, employing the data available at 6 months after diagnosis and under predefined operational criteria. Results The Kaplan-Meier estimate of the probability of achieving a remission period of at least 5 years, with neither seizures nor antiepileptic treatment at 14 years was 97% for well-defined childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes, 82% for uncertain childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes, 85% for well-defined Panayiotopoulos syndrome, 88% for uncertain Panayiotopoulos syndrome, 93% for nonfamilial self-limited infantile epilepsy, 100% for familial self-limited infantile epilepsy, 86% for absence epilepsy, 6% for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, 71% for cryptogenic West syndrome, 72% for patients with no associated neurologic deficits and no specific syndromic diagnosis, 65% for symptomatic West syndrome, and 40% for patients with associated neurologic deficits and no specific syndromic diagnosis. Conclusions The study results highlight the long-term outcomes of the main epileptic syndromes and also of the patients with no syndromic diagnosis.
