How can having had childhood epilepsy manifest itself in an adult?

I was finally diagnosed with Epilepsy with grand-mal seizures at the age of 10, was on Dilantin a couple of years, then evidently "grew out of it". To my knowledge, there have been no recurring seizures. I am now 54 yrs. old & have non-specific white matter lesions on my frontal & bi-temporal lobes. I'm wondering how childhood epilepsy manifests in adults who "outgrew it"?
