problems: In the investigation of epilepsy the most attention pays to seizure as a result of increasing of body temperature. Epileptic conditions in which seizures are reduced during the febrile term are not studied.

Experimental approach: We examined 5 children with epilepsy with atypical response to the increase of body temperature as a reduction in the number and severity of seizures.

Findings: The сommon features were in all of these children onset in early childhood; intractable seizures of different types; epileptiformic changes on EEG; marked organic neurological disturbances; atrophic changes of the brain.

Conclusion: These fits allow separate the epilepsy with hyperthermic remissions in a unique epileptic syndrome.
