Prior studies suggest a higher incidence of symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children with epilepsy, but few have investigated epilepsy in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Our objective was to compare the incidence and characteristics of epilepsy among population-based, research identified cohorts of children with (N=358) and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (N=728), based on medical record review to age 20. Data abstracted included characteristics of seizures, testing, and treatment. Cases were 2.7 times more likely to have epilepsy than controls (95% confidence interval 0.94–7.76; p=0.066), had earlier seizure onset (median age 5.5 versus 15 years; p=0.020), and a trend toward more frequent seizures (more than monthly, 63% versus 17%). Among children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, those with epilepsy tended to be less likely to have received a clinical diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (63% versus 89%; p=0.052) or to be treated with stimulants (50% verses 85%; p=0.025). Our findings suggest a strong trend towards a higher incidence of epilepsy among children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder compared to those without. Epilepsy in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder appears to be more severe than in those without. Finally, there appears to be a reluctance to diagnose and initiate treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children with epilepsy.
