Abstract
|

|
|
Under the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, men over the age of 18 years with Korean nationality must serve in the military. People with epilepsy (PWE) are judged differently depending on the duration of epilepsy treatment and the degree to which their seizures are controlled. The prevalence of epilepsy in Koreans in their 20s is 3.84 per 1,000 population, and it is estimated that approximately 13,500 PWE are experiencing problems related to military service. This article will help solve the difficulties that arise in determining the categorization of PWE for military service.
