摘要

Background: Epilepsy is a disease with incidence throughout life and is commonly self limited with high proportion of patients eventually enter a long term remission and stop medication. However, a lot of patients remain silent about their disease and its treatment. Objective: This study was to assess the magnitude of silent epileptic patients in Mansoura University Neurology outpatient clinic. Methods: Consecutive patients attending the clinic were subject for structured questionnaire regarding their seizures, antiepileptic drugs as a method of treatment and about their adherence to them. Results: 248 patients were recruited. Only seizure freedom was achieved in 21% of them. Non-adherence to medication by stop taking drugs in 37%, dose increase or decrease in 20% or by trying other ways to control seizure like Hegamah and reading Quran were common manifestation of patient silence. Lack of knowledge, impaired cognition and low expectation about therapy were also contributing to patient silence. Conclusion: Silent epilepsy patients are true challenge in epilepsy management that need to be addressed in neurology clinics.
