The epilepsies are a frequent group of neurologic disorders. We have witnessed significant advances in their medical treatment recently. About 70 % of newly diagnosed patients are rendered seizure-free. Antiepileptic drug treatment has become more complex. The choice of antiepileptic drug is based on seizure type. However, special patient's needs (drug tolerability, toxicity, ease of use and cost and age, sex and commorbidities) should be considered. The article deals with these special situations. In case of seizure persistence epilepsy surgery could be an option.
