Seizure Burden, EEG, and Outcome in Neonates With Acute Intracranial Infections: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study
2022, Pediatric NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Previous studies report a high incidence of acute symptomatic seizures in neonates with acute intracranial infections. Up to 60% of children with acute bacterial meningitis8,18,30,31 or HSV encephalitis32-34 have seizures. Although acute symptomatic seizures associated with intracranial infections are generally thought to be difficult to manage,6 limited data are available regarding seizure treatment in this population.35
Lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid analysis
2010, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :In a series of 41 children with bacterial meningitis, there were no clinically significant CT abnormalities that were not suspected by neurological assessment (Cabral and Flodmark, 1987). Similar findings have been observed in other studies (Stovring and Snyder, 1980; Packer et al., 1982; Kline and Kaplan, 1988; Pike et al., 1990; Tallon, 1994). CT scan should be considered in any child with bacterial meningitis with a depressed level of consciousness; new-onset, prolonged, or partial seizures; focal neurological examination; enlarging head circumference; evidence of continuing infection; or recurrence of disease (Riordan et al., 1993).
The correlation between neurological evaluations and neurological outcome in acute encephalitis: A hospital-based study
2007, European Journal of Paediatric NeurologyCitation Excerpt :The identification of the underlying pathogens usually can be reached by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or serology.4 Reviewing the literature, many neurophysiological, neuroimaging and neurological outcomes of meningitis have been carefully studied.5,6 However, except for HSV encephalitis, there is limited data about the neurological outcomes in children with encephalitis.7,8
