Background Seizures are one of the most common causes pediatric admissions to hospitals in children. This study aims identify clinical profile and outcome first seizures Methods Children who presented neurology outpatient clinic emergency service with a first-time seizure aged month through 18 years old were enrolled study. At time study, children categorized into three groups according charact...

BACKGROUND Epileptic seizures account for 1%-2% of all admissions of patients to the emergency department (ED). The present study aimed to determine whether venous blood pH, bicarbonate, base excess, and lactate levels taken within 1 hour of the last seizure episode help to determine seizure recurrence in emergency departments. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in the emergency de...

OBJECTIVE To study the significance of new onset seizure in patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. METHODS Patients infected with HIV with the new onset seizure were enrolled in the study. Seizure type was classified. Adequate work up was done to search for a cause of their initial seizure. All patients were administered antiepileptic drugs in addition those detected to ha...

PURPOSE Electroencephalography (EEG) is frequently ordered for patients with febrile seizures despite its unclear diagnostic value. We evaluated the prevalence of abnormal EEGs, the association between clinical findings and abnormal EEGs, and the predictive value of EEG for the recurrence of febrile seizures. METHODS Data were collected on 230 children who were treated for febrile seizures at...

Background: Febrile seizure (FS) is one of the most common neurologic disorders in children. Electrolyte imbalance especially hyponatremia may have an important role in triggering the febrile seizure. The measure of serum electrolytes will be useful in predicting the further seizure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of relative hyponatremia (RH) on the risk of recurrent febri...

To investigate the usage of functional neuroimaging as a prognostic tool for seizure recurrence and long-term outcomes in patients with multilobar resection, we recruited 90 patients who received multilobar resections between 1995 and 2013 with at least 1-year follow-up (mean 8.0 years). All patients were monitored using intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) after pre-surgical evaluation. C...
