Abstract

Aim: We studied the etiological spectrum of children with acute first seizures and seizure-like events in the pediatric emergency unit of a tertiary care hospital. Material and Methods: Seventy-five children were related to acute first seizures and 32 children were to seizure-like events. Results: Syncope (17%) was the most common cause of seizure-like events. Epilepsy was identified for 28 (37%) children with acute first seizure. Nine children (12%) were considered as first unprovoked afebrile seizure. The remaining seven children with acute first seizure (9.3%) had acute symptomatic seizures based on the extensive metabolic screening and MRG studies. Fifteen children (20%) had seizure reoccurrence in the emergency unit. Conclusion: Status epilepticus occured in 4 patients (5.3%) and those were admitted into the intensive care unit.

Özet

Amaç: Bu retrospektif çalışmada Çocuk Acil Servisine nöbet ve nöbet benzeri olaylar nedeniyle getirilen çocuklarda etyolojik nedenler araştırıldı. Yöntem ve Gereç: Yetmiş beş çocuk akut nöbet ve 32 çocuk nöbet benzeri olaylar nedeniyle çalışmaya dahil edildiler.Nöbet ve nöbet benzeri olaylar tanımlanarak etyolojik nedenler gözden geçirildi. Bulgular: Nöbet benzeri olaylar arasında senkop %17 en sık karşılan non-epileptik fenomen olarak belirlendi. Epilepsi tanısı 28 çocukta (%37 ) vardı. İlk afebril nöbet 9 çocukta (%12) tanı olarak konuldu. Akut semptomatik nöbet tanısı 7 çocukta (%9.3) metabolik tarama testleri ve kraniyal MRG incelemeleri ardından konuldu. Acil serviste nöbet rekürrensi 15 çocukta (%20) gözlendi. Sonuç: Acil servise ilk nöbet yakınması ile getirilen 4 çocukta (%5.3) status epileptikus izlendi.
