Those at the greatest risk of recurrence have either an abnormal EEG or an identifiabl...

متن کاملRisk of seizure recurrence following a first unprovoked seizure in childhood: a prospective study.

Subsequent seizures were experienced by 101 children (36%). The cumulative risk of seizure recurrence for the entire study group was 26% at 12 months, 36% at 24 months, 40% at 36 months, and 42% at 48 months. The cumulative risk of recurrence i...
متن کاملSeizure recurrence after a 1st unprovoked seizure: an extended follow-up.
We followed 208 patients identified on the day of their 1st unprovoked seizure for a mean duration of 4 years. Seizures recurred in 64. Recurrence risks were estimated to be 14%, 29%, and 34% at 1, 3, and 5 years following the 1st episode. A history of previous neurologic insult (remote symptomatic) was associated with a 2.5-fold increased risk of recurrence. Among idiopathic cases, a sibling w...
