Melatonin’s Effect in Febrile Seizures and Epilepsy
OBJECTIVE Recognition of risk factors for febrile seizures (FS) and epilepsy is essential. Studies regarding the role of melatonin in these convulsive disorders are limited. This study determines the relationship between serum melatonin levels and FS and epilepsy in children. MATERIALS & METHODS A population of 111 children with simple FS, complex FS, and epilepsy (37 children per group, resp...
متن کاملEpidemiology of febrile seizures and epilepsy: a call for action.
Seizures triggered by fever, qualified as febrile seizures, have been for decades a major issue for children in developed countries and more so in resource-limited settings. Approximately 2--5% of children are affected by this kind of seizure. Many studies aimed to describe, measure, and analyze several hypotheses, including the assessment of the physiopathological mechanisms, epidemiological i...
متن کاملChildhood Epilepsy, Febrile Seizures, and Subsequent Risk of ADHD.
OBJECTIVES Epilepsy, febrile seizures, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are disorders of the central nervous system and share common risk factors. Our goal was to examine the association in a nationwide cohort study with prospective follow-up and adjustment for selected confounders. We hypothesized that epilepsy and febrile seizures were associated with subsequent ADHD. MET...
متن کاملAtypical Febrile Seizures, Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, and Dual Pathology
Febrile seizures occurring in the neonatal period, especially when prolonged, are thought to be involved in the later development of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) in children. The presence of an often undetected, underlying cortical malformation has also been reported to be implicated in the epileptogenesis process following febrile seizures. This paper highlights some of the various ani...
متن کاملEpilepsy in children with a history of febrile seizures
PURPOSE Febrile seizure, the most common type of pediatric convulsive disorder, is a benign seizure syndrome distinct from epilepsy. However, as epilepsy is also common during childhood, we aimed to identify the prognostic factors that can predict epilepsy in children with febrile seizures. METHODS The study comprised 249 children at the Korea University Ansan Hospital who presented with febr...
