Abstract

Objectives: To describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of seizure in children from 2 months to 60 months old at the Department of Emergency and Poison Control, Vietnam National Children's Hospital. Methods: A prospective, descriptive, and cross-sectional study on 200 seizure patients hospitalized at the Department of Emergency and Poison Control. Results: The age group 12 - 36 months accounted for the majority at 61.5%, with an average age of 22.7 ± 13.3 months. Males are affected more than females. Most seizures occurred at temperatures ranging from 38.5 - < 39° C.  Seizures mainly last from 1 - 5 minutes, accounting for 72.5%. Most cases are first-time occurrences, accounting for 66.5%, and mainly generalized seizures (94%). Febrility is the most common cause of seizures (accounting for 60%), followed by epilepsy (21%). 38.3% of cases present with abnormal images on the electroencephalogram. Conclusion: Seizures are most common in the age group of 1 to 3 years old and more common in males than females. The main characteristic of seizures is generalized seizures. Febrility is the most common cause of seizures; abnormal images on the electroencephalogram account for a significant proportion (38.3%).
