Il est fait une distinction entre les épilepsies dont la cause est connue (épilepsie symptomatique), celles dont on suppose la cause, bien que celle-ci n'ait pas été prouvée (épilepsie cryptogénique) et celles dont la cause est inconnue (épilepsie idiopathique). L'unique cause envisagée pour les épilepsies idiopathiques reste la prédisposition héréditaire. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9pilepsie%20cryptog%C3%A9nique
