Abstract

According to the World Health Organization, the prevalence of epilepsy in developing countries is 10.3 cases per 1000 population in urban areas and 15.4 cases per 1000 population in rural areas, which is significantly higher than similar indicators in developed countries (5.8 per 1000 population). Regional patterns of epilepsy prevalence and clinical course in various regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan are still insufficiently studied.
