A Study Of Childhood Seizures And Incidence Of Findings In EEG And Neuro Imaging And In A Tertiary Care Hospital In A Sub Urban Population

Abstract

Background: It is a transient occurrence of symptoms and signs resulting from abnormal synchronous or excessive neuronal activity in the brain.Our study is focused on incidence of seizure in pediatric age group and associated changes in EEG and neuro imaging in indian population .

Aims :To assess childhood seizures and incidence of-findings in EEG and  neuro- imaging in a tertiary care hospital in a sub urban population.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in 50 children presented with unprovoked afebrile seizures, investigations were done and data was collected. SPSS 24was used for statistical analysis of results

RESULTS : Among the 50 children with unprovoked afebrile seizures, 70% of patient had generalised seizures and 30% patient had partial seizures.82 % had EEG abnormality

ConclusionThere is higher correlation between neuroimaging abnormality and focal Electroencephalogram changes in partial seizures when compared to generalised seizures. Electroencephalogram and Neuroimaging are mandatory tool in evaluating Children with afebrile seizures.
