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...

febrile seizure is the most common form of childhood seizures that occur in 2-5% of them. the purpose of this study was to compare serum sodium level in first simple, multiple and recurrent febrile con-vulsions to answer whether serum sodium levels can predict febrile seizure recurrence in 24 hours and in other febrile episodes? in a retrospective study, sodium serum levels of all children aged...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the probability of bacterial meningitis presenting with a first simple febrile seizure or complex febrile seizure without any conspicuous signs of meningitis. Methods: This was a record based cross-sectional study of 564 patients of 6-24 months of age and was evaluated in a paediatric emergency department between 2007 and 2013 for their first febrile...

Résumé Le patient avec exanthème fébrile pose au médecin de premier recours un véritable défi diagnostic. Nous rapportons un cas original d'exanthème maculeux fébrile que nous avons pu rattacher à un sepsis secondaire à une pelvipéritonite et cholécystite aigue. L'anamnèse, l'examen clinique de qualité, les examens paracliniques et l'évolution favorable nous a permis de retenir l'origine infect...

1. Is there an association between febrile seizure and hippocampal damage independent of epilepsy? Can simple febrile seizure causes hippocampal abnormalities? Are there any hippocampal abnormalities in healthy patients 15-20 years after a simple febrile seizure ........ 12 2. What clinical/neuroimaging features can be differentiated between TLE patients who have regular SGTCS and those who do ...
