Abstract The paper highlights the problems and diffi culties faced by patients with epilepsy and their parents when changing the medical institution and the attending physician due to the transition to adult health services. Considerable clinical and psychosocial complications of unfavourable epilepsy course in adults with childhood- onset epilepsy are discussed. The models of the evolution of childhood/ adolescent epilepsy, which depend on the cause of the disease, are presented. Examples of the organization of a smooth and safe transition of people with childhood-onset epilepsy under the supervision of adult neurologists/ epileptologists in diff erent countries of the world are given. It is emphasized that the key to create an individualized program for a successful transition is the epilepsy etiology account, especially if young patients need special care because of mental disorders. The possibilities of such a transition in Ukraine are considered on the example of activities of the Lviv Regional Antiepileptic Centre.
Key words epilepsy, childhood epilepsy, models of transition to adulthood
