Juvenile idiopathic epilepsy in Egyptian Arabian foals, a potential animal model of self-limited epilepsy in children.

Juvenile idiopathic epilepsy has a focal onset of ED at the central vertex with spread resulting in clinical generalized tonic-clonic seizures with facial motor activity and loss of consciousness. Electroencephalography with photic stimulation contributes to accurate phenotyping of epilepsy. Foals with this benign self-limiting disorder might serve as a naturally occurring animal model for self-limited epilepsy in children.
