- Title:
- EEG after Febrile Seizure is Predictive of Epilepsy
- Abstract:
- Researchers in pediatric neurology and electroencephalography at the University of Yamanashi, Japan, studied the EEG in children referred within 7-20 days after a febrile seizure (FS), and determined the utility of localization of paroxysmal discharges as a predictor for subsequent epilepsy.

- Nonconvulsive Electrographic Status Epilepticus
- Abstract:
- Researchers at the University of Cincinnati, OH, examined medical records of 75 children, aged 3 months to 21 years (mean age 7.8 years), for prevalence of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) by searching a clinical EEG database (n=18) or consecutive inpatient EEG referrals for NCSE over an 8-month period (n=57).
