OBJECTIVE: To investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics of @entity302 in 2 referral hospitals in northern Iran. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 300 @entity1 with the confirmed diagnosis of @entity302 referred to the Neurology clinics of 22-Bahman, and 17-Shahrivar Hospitals, Mashad, Iran, from April 2011 to December 2012. We collected and analyzed demographic and disease information. RESULTS: The mean age of @entity1 was 31.5+/-15.3 years. The diagnosis of disease had been made approximately 10 months after the onset of symptoms, and the treatment gap was 28%. The most widely used anticonvulsants were @entity1092 , @entity2049 , and @entity109 . Generalized @entity410 was seen in 78%, partial @entity410 in 22%, and a combination of them in 11% of @entity1 . @entity410 (72%) was the most common type of @entity6191 , and secondarily generalized @entity410 was the most frequent type of @entity302 . CONCLUSION: The epidemiological features of @entity302 in our region with regard to age and gender are the same as other parts of the world. The generalized type is the most common form of @entity302 , with @entity410 being the most frequent type in our area.
