Epilepsy is more than a predisposition towards recurrent seizures. It also entails biological, psychological, and social issues [1], that in part are sex specific. The two main types are focal and generalized epilepsies. Generalized epilepsy is predominantly found in patients with seizure onset in childhood and adolescence of which the majority is idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) [2]. Whereas focal epilepsy can be accompanied by localized brain dysfunction, cognitive abilities are essentially normal in IGE.
