Popis: The aim of this study was to evaluate the interval between the first and last seizures, the normalization of the electroencephalogram (EEG), and to identify factors of influence. Medical records of children were analyzed with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes. Variables age at first and last seizure, gender, interval between the first and last seizure, the first seizure and EEG normalization, lateralization of the epileptiform discharges, and last epileptic seizure and EEG normalization. The mean time between the first and last seizure was 3.34 years. Early onset of seizures and unilateral discharges were factors that increased the interval between the first and last seizures (p
