Abstract
A double-blind trial was done in 228 patients with one single seizure 2 weeks before coming to the author. One group was given sodium valproate, the other group placebo. The duration of therapy was 12 months. The results of this trial show that a person with a single seizure has epilepsy and should be treated with sodium valproate.
