This retrospective descriptive study was carried out on a sample of 162 patients. The Data collection was done using a collection sheet based on the Classification of seizures and epileptic syndromes of the LICE published in 2017. Excel 2016 and SPSS were used for data analysis. The average age of patients is 18.5 years ± 1.28 (SE). Women were more affected by disease than men, i.e., 51.23% vs. 48.77% (M/F = 0.95. Generalized seizures represented 58.02% (n=94) of cases, while partial seizures represented only 22.22% (n =36). Patients who are declared “unknown” for a family history of epilepsy were 90% less likely to return for a visit compared to those who reported no family history of epilepsy, OR =0.10 (95% CI: 0.04, 0.029), p < 0.001. Our study showed that the main risk factors for epilepsy at the clinic are suffering perinatal, head trauma, febrile seizures, and central nervous system (CNS) infections.

Bullosis Diabeticorum is a rare skin complication of diabetes mellitus. With a prevalence ranging from 0.16% to 0.5%, it affects mostly men with an acral and distal asymmetric presentation. We report a case of bullous disease in a known diabetic patient associated with morbid obesity.
