The first description of absence seizures dates back to 1705. However, the lack of knowledge and confusion still persist as regards some aspects of concept, classification, terminology, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the different forms of epilepsies with absences. The fundamental purpose of this publication was to take into consideration the so-called idiopathic generalized epilepsies with absences in the clinical and electroencephalographic aspects. The topic was reviewed and updated.
