Abstract
Epilepsy is a common neurologic disorder. Major advances in the understanding of the etiology and treatment have occurred. Although most cases of epilepsy do not follow a simple pattern of inheritance, recently single gene epilepsy disorders have been identified. We present some postage stamps to illustrate issues and advances in knowledge about epilepsy, as well as famous people with this disorder.
