Background: Febrile convulsion is one of the most common types of seizure in childhood (9 month to 5 years of age). Its pathogenesis is unknown, so studying its causes is valuable. The purpose of this study was to determine the serum level of magnesium in children with FC (9 months to 5 years of age). Materials and Methods: In this analytical study, serum level of magnesium in 102 children wi...

Febrile seizures are the most common seizure disorder in childhood, affecting 2% to 5% of children between the ages of 6 and 60 months. Simple febrile seizures are defined as brief ( 15-minute) generalized seizures that occur once during a 24-hour period in a febrile child who does not have an intracranial infection, metabolic disturbance, or history of afebrile seizures. This guideline (a revi...

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...
