Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the etiology, associated problems, frequency of epilepsy and the factors which affect antiepileptic therapy in children with spastic tetraplegia. Methods: A total of 270 consecutive patients (60%males) aged 41-190 months (mean 68) with spastic tetraplegia were retrospectively studied. Type and frequency of epilepsy, EEG finding, cranial MRI finding and etiology of spastic tetraplegia were analysed. Results: Follow up period ranged 15 and 35 months (mean 24 months). The % 54.5 of cerebral palsy were evaluated as spastic tetraplegia. In the etiology the reasons were found as follow: prenatal in 33 patients, postnatal in 39 patients, perinatal inl47 patients. The most frequent cranial MRI finding was conical lesions (45.5 %). The frequency of epilepsy was 38 % in spastic tetraplegia. In 65 % of the epileptic patients, the onset age of epilepsy was under 1 year of age, and generalized convulsions were the most common type. Neonatal seizures and cranial cortical lesions associated with a higher incidence of epilepsy. Regarding response to antiepileptic therapy there was not apparently any relationship between control of the seizure and the onset age of the epilepsy and the gender of the patients. Conclusion: Epilepsy in spastic tetraplegia can be predicted if seizures occur in the neonatal period and if there is cortical lesion in cranial MRl.

Özet

Amaç: Spastik tetraplejide etiolojik faktörleri, eşlik eden sorunları, epilepsi sıklığını epilepsi tedavisine etkili faktörleri incelemek Metod: Spastik tetraphji tanısı almış ve yaşlan 41-190 ay (ortalama 68) arasında değişen 270 hastada (%60'ı erkek) etiolojik faktörler, epilepsi sıklığı, epilepsi türü, kranial manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ve EEG bulguları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların izlem süresi 15 ay - 35 ay (ort. 24 ay) arasında değişmekteydi. Serebral palsili hastaların % 54.5 spastik tetrapleji tanısı aldı. Etiolojik faktörler değerlendiğinde 33 hastada prenatal, 39 hastada postnatal, 147 hastada perinatal risk faktörleri saptandı. Spastik tetrapleji olgularının kranial görüntülemelerinde kortikal lezyonlar en sık rastlanan bulgu idi (%45.5). Olgularımızın % 38'unda epilepsi saptandı. Bu olguların % 65' inde nöbetler bir yaşından önce başlamıştı ve en sık jeneralize türde konvülsiyonlar saptanmıştı. Yenidoğan konvülsiyonu ve kranial kortikal lezyonu olan grupta epilepsi insidensi yüksek bulundu. Antikonvülsif tedaviye yanıt ve epilepsinin ortaya çıkış yaşı ve hastanın cinsiyeti arasında belirgin bir ilişki saptanmadı. Sonuç: Çalışma grubunda yer alan spastik tetraplejik hastalarda yenidoğan döneminde konvülsiyon ve kranial kortikal lezyonu olması epilepsi gelişme sıklığını artırdığı görülmektedir.
