Epileptic syndromes of the newborn and infant

Abstract

Epileptic syndromes are categorized by age of onset seizure types clinical features electroencephalographic findings and response to treatment nbsp; The International League Against Epilepsy has established an age related classification to provide identification of epileptic syndromes Early recognition and identification of epileptic syndromes provide selection of appropriate diagnostic investigations and treatment and prediction of the prognosis Turk Arch Ped 2011; 46: 183 7

Yenidoğan ve sütçocuğunun epileptik sendromları

Abstract

Epileptik sendromlar başlangıç yaşı, nöbet tipi, elektroansefalografi bulguları, eşlik eden klinik özellikler ve tedavi yanıtı ile özgün durumlardır. Uluslararası Epilepsiyle Savaş Derneği epileptik sendromların tanınmasını sağlamak amacıyla yaşa bağlı bir sınıflandırma yapmıştır. Epileptik sendromların tanınması, uygun tanısal tetkik ile tedavi tercihine ve hastaların seyrinin tahmin edilebilmesine olanak sağlar.
