The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of @entity410 descriptions from parents and guardians of @entity302 @entity1 which are useful for clinical classification of @entity302 . The data were obtained from 112 @entity1 using recurrent and spontaneous @entity302 as the selection criteria. The study was realized in two parts. In the part I the following aspects were studied: age of onset and the preictal, @entity1109 . In the part II the specific kinds of @entity410 were classified by motor semiology, as @entity410 and nonconvulsive, and by using the International League Against @entity302 (ILAE,1981) scheme. The results showed that 42.9% @entity1 present @entity302 and 36.6% present lateralizing signs. Concerning the semiologic events were motor in 95.5%, neurovegetative in 56.3%, psychic in 32.1%, and neurosensorials in 4.5%. Finally, the ILAE schema classified the @entity410 as partial in 59.9%, as generalized in 27.2%, and as not classified in 12.5%. All findings demonstrate a good level of clinical semiology information from parents and guardians that allow us to classify 87.5% of the @entity410 , and identify auras and lateralized signs. Theses results permit us to conclud that if a standard protocol is used, the descriptions from parents and guardian of @entity302 @entity1 appears to be very reliable to clinical classification of @entity302 .
