The etiology and recurrence of acute symptomatic seizures during childhood

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the pediatric patients diagnosed with symptomatic seizure who presented with convulsion or developed convulsion after admission due to another reason with regard to etiology and type of seizure, electroencephalography and cranial imaging findings, duration of antiepil...

The youngest patient was 2-month-old, whereas the oldest was 180-month-old, with the seizures generally occurring between 1-12 months. Central nervous system infections were observed to be the most common reason of acute symptomatic seizure. Organic causes with central nervous system are observed to induce seizure recurrence and sequelae more commonly as compared with the metabolic causes.CONCLUSION: Since seizure recurrence is a very low possibility when no organic lesion or focal neurologic sign is found in patients that have been put on antiepileptic therapy during the acute period due to acute symptomatic seizure, discontinuation of the antiepileptic therapy should be planned and the patient should be scheduled for discharge. AMAÇ: Akut semptomatik nöbet (ASN) tanısı konulan çocuklarda; nöbetlerin etyolojisini, tipini, elektroensefalografi (EEG) ve kraniyal görüntüleme bulgularını, antiepileptik tedavi kullanım sürelerini, nöbet rekürrensini ve sekel gelişimini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır.YÖNTEMLER: 1 Haziran 2006 ile 31 Aralık 2007 tarihleri arasında, Doktor Sami Ulus Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Eğitim ve Araştırma Merkezi acil servisine konvülziyon nedeniyle başvuran, ya da başka nedenle hastanede yatışı sırasında konvülziyon geçiren ve yapılan tetkikler sonucu ASN tanısı konulan 1ay-16 yaş arası, 65 çocuk hasta dahil edilmiş ve hastalar en az altı ay süreyle izlenmiştir.BULGULAR: ASN tanımına uyan toplam 65 hasta çalışmaya alınmıştır. En küçük hasta 2 ay en büyüğü 180 aylık olmak üzere nöbetler 1-12 ay arasında en sık görülmüştür. Santral sinir sistemi (SSS) enfeksiyonları en sık ASN nedeni olarak belirlenmiştir. Nöbet tekrarı ve sekel gelişimi SSS’ ni ilgilendiren organik patolojilerde metabolik nedenlere göre daha fazla bulunmuştur.(p=0,015)SONUÇ: Akut semptomatik nöbet nedeniyle akut dönemde antiepileptik ilaç başlanan çocuk hastalarda, beyinde organik lezyon veya fokal nörolojik bulgu yoksa, nöbet tekrarı olasılığının çok düşük olduğu göz önünde bulundurularak, başlanan antiepileptik tedavinin kesilerek taburcu edilmesi planlanmalıdır.
