: Epidemiological data of the U.L.S.S. n. 22 of Este-Montagnana (PD) show a prevalence of Epilepsy of 5.94%. These data are referred to an observation period of ten years (1978-1987) and confirm the results of major epidemiological trials in U.K. and U.S.A. Distribution by sex and types of crises is the same. The Authors underline the importance of alcohol-related crises; however this is not yet confirmed by precise parallel data.
