To provide data on the clinical issues related to the birth order and other characteristic back- ground in epilepsy, 331 idiopathic epileptic patients were evaluated and analyzed phenomenologically. The patients had been treated at the neuropsychiatric department of the Korea University Hospital during 1974 to 1980. The age at onset ranged from 1 to 45 years, with the mean age of 16.65 years. Males were 1.36 times more than females. Seventeen (5.13%) of the subjects had the family history of epilepsy. Attacks in the daytime only occurred in 67.67% (N=224) of the subjects, while 23.56% (N =78) had their seizures only at night, and 8 .77% (N= 20) had their seizures both at daytime and night. Grand mal was the most frequent type of seizure, followed by psychomotor and petitmal. There was a higher incidence among the first born than the subsequent siblings and the children born second had a somewhat higher frequency of epilepsy than the subsequent children.
