However, there is actually no real pattern of incidence of epilepsy in the elderly since the diversity and features of its clinical manifestations in these patients, as well as difficulties in describing their status make the diagnosis of the disease very hard in this category of patients. Seizures without loss of consciousness, which are especially associated with the development of transient muscle tone disorders and autonomic dysfunction, are commonly regarded as benign vertigo, autonomic or mental disorders. This study has indicated that the development of epilepsy in the elderly, which results from cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative pathology, is not a rare, but relatively common neurological disorder. By taking into account the aging tendency in economically developed countries, the increasing number of elderly patients with epilepsy is an important medical and economic problem that calls for in-depth investigation, timely diagnosis,and treatment.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Нередко врачи считают, что эпилепсия – это болезнь детей и молодых взрослых; однако у пациентов старшей возрастной группы заболеваемость эпилепсией не ниже, а нередко и выше аналогичных показателей среди населения детского и молодого возраста. Среди причин эпилепсии у пожилых пациентов преобладают острые и хронические нарушения мозгового кровообращения (50 % всех случаев). Другие причины эпилепсии (нейродегенеративные процессы, опухоли и проч.) у пожилых встречаются редко. Однако истинной картины заболеваемости эпилепсией людей пожилого возраста фактически нет, поскольку многообразие и особенности клинических проявлений эпилепсии у них, а также трудности описания своего состояния чрезвычайно затрудняют диагностику заболевания у данной категории пациентов. Приступы без утраты сознания, особенно связанные с развитием преходящих нарушений мышечного тонуса и вегетативной дисфункции, нередко расцениваются как доброкачественные головокружения, вегетативные или психические нарушения. Наше исследование показало, что развитие эпилепсии у пожилых пациентов, имеющее в своей основе цереброваскулярнуюи нейродегенеративную патологию, представляет собой не редкую, а одну из относительно частых неврологических патологий. Учитывая тенденцию к старению населения в экономически развитых странах, увеличение числа больных эпилепсией в пожилом возрасте – важная медицинская и экономическая проблема, нуждающаяся в углубленном исследовании, своевременной диагностике и лечении.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>epilepsy</kwd><kwd>old age</kwd><kwd>electroencephalography</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эпилепсия</kwd><kwd>пожилой возраст</kwd><kwd>электроэнцефалография</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">1.
