다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To those who had an unexpected convulsion, it would be as fearful a catastrophe as typhoon or earthquake. They would also be anxious to know whether the nature of their convulsion has been epileptic, symptomatic or caused by functional (psychiatric) disorder.
It is really regrettable that the EEGs of epileptic patients which have been normal in routine EEG study, only 70 to 80% are activated by the rarely life-threatening Metrazol provocation procedures.
The author has studied the procedures by trying them again on the Korean and found a distinct age significance in the activation procedures.
Out of total 76 activation procedure cases, as many as 9 experienced miserable unexpected clinical seizures.
For both examiners and examinees and their siblings, development of a safer drugs which would not cause any clinical seizure and a procedure which would be handy with a provocation significance of no less than 103 are sincerely desired in the near future.
