(Department of Pediatrics, Istanbul University Istanbul Medical Faculty). Status epilepticus in children: etiology therapy and prognosis in 48 patients. Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Dergisi 2005; 28: 290-294.
Status epilepticus (SE) is currently defined as a single clinical seizure lasting more than 30 mins or repeated seizures over a period of more than 30 mins without intervening recovery of consciousness. SE is a neurological emergency that often occurs in children. Prolonged and uncontrolled status epilepticus may induce systemic and neurologic sequelae. A series of 48 children (29 M/19 F) with SE were identified retrospectively. Factors evaluated included age, sex, history of seizures, etiology, morbidity and treatment. The mean age was 29.5 ± 28.7 months. Central nervous system infections were the most common etiology of SE. The treatment protocols were compared with each other and we could not detect any significant differences.
