NEUROPHYSIOLOGIC CORRELATES OF EPILEPSY IN COMPLEX FEBRILE SEIZURES

Febrile seizures are the most common neurological disorder of early childhood. By expressing the characteristics febrile seizures are divided into simple and complex. Our aim was to determine the elektroencephalography characteristics in children who had febrile seizures, and determine the relation between types of febrile seizures correlates with the appearance of epilepsy in children aged 9-11 years. In the group of children studied, 50% had a complex febrile seizures, 42.2% had simple febrile seizures, and 7.8% children had febrile epileptic status. The analysis of EEG findings observed were statistically significant differences in specific changes in the EEG depending on the type of febrile attack that the child would have. In the group of children with simple febrile attacks 92.1% has a normal EEG, 2.6% had a specific, a 5.3% nonspecific finding. For children with complex febrile attack, 44.4% have a specific, and 13.3% of non-specific changes in EEG. Specific changes in the EEG has 28.6% of children who had febrile epileptic status.
