Abstract

Epilepsy is a common worldwide health problem with several personal, familial and social impacts. It has a worldwide incidence of 0.3 to 0.5%.The cause of epilepsy is not known and 70% belonged to Idiopathic variety. Objective: This study examines the Palmar Main line terminations and position of ‘t’ triradius  among individuals with Primary epilepsy in comparison to the controls. Methods: The study included Sixty established cases of primary epilepsy in the age group 05-12yrs who were compared with 60 healthy children of the same age group. The palmar prints were taken  using Ink-pad method described by Commins and Midlo. Inverted T pad, ink slab made of plain glass, white paper and cyclostyling ink were used for obtaining prints. Various parameters for palm including termination of main lines (D,C,B and A) and position of T were studied. The results were compared with those of controls. Results and conclusion: The analysis of data showed a statistically significant difference in termination of A- line between patients controls (X2 = 6.66; d.f.2). The differences observed in D,C and B line terminations were statistically nonsignificant. No significant  difference was observed in number and position of ‘t’ (X2 = 1.83; d.f.2) . Very few studies using similar parameters are available now hence there is a need for a study with larger sample size for confirming the results.
