Abstract
From a neurological point of view, adolescence is a period in which both age-related epileptic syndromes (eg juvenile myoclonic epilepsy) occur and some types of non-epileptic seizures (eg dissociative attacks, migraine attacks and orthostatic syncope) are more common. A specific problem is the occurrence of so-called incidentalomas and so-called benign intracranial hypertension in predisposed individuals.
Behavioral disorders in adolescence are also unique and their knowledge can help in neurological differential diagnosis.
