INTRODUCTION Although one third of febrile seizures are complex, a consensus has still not been reached on how to manage them, as is the case with simple febrile seizures. The objective of this study is to estimate the usefulness of complementary examinations and the risk of associated serious intracranial pathology. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review was conducted from 2003 until 20...

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...

Background: Febrile seizures are the most common convulsive disorder in children. There is growing evidence that vitamin D can affect gene expression and modulate various cell metabolisms. Also vitamin D may have a role in the etiology of febrile seizures. We aimed to explore vitamin D status in children with febrile seizure. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 40...

background: prevalence of recurrent shoulder dislocation in patients taking tramadol has not been studiedyet so, this study aims to study the recurrent shoulder dislocation following tramadol induced seizure. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 205 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation complaints (2 or more) referred to shafa orthopedic and iranmehr hospitals tehran, iran, from octob...

Febrile seizure is the most common seizure disorder in children. Approximately 2-5% of children will experience a febrile seizure. There are two types of febrile seizure: simple and complex. The two types vary in their characteristics and also in their prognosis. Simple febrile seizures are generally benign neurological events that carry an excellent prognosis. On the other hand, research shows...

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 ...

Epilepsy affects 1-2 % of the population. For 30 % of these patients, their syndrome will be refractory to medical treatment. To improve our understanding and treatment of the epilepsies, we need to develop clinically relevant animal models. As temporal lobe epilepsy is often preceded by prolonged febrile seizures and in our population associated with a focal cortical dysplasia, we hypothesised...
