Seizures in the neonate are often considered a form of status epilepticus (SE) because they
are relatively prolonged, difficult to control with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), and may be …

Infants and children are at a high risk for seizures compared with adults. Although most
seizures in children are benign and result in no long-term consequences, increasing …

Laboratory models of prolonged seizures and status epilepticus in developing animals
demonstrate age-and model-dependent propensity for brain injury. Even in models without …

Background: Although seizures are very common in neonates and are often the harbinger of
poor neurologic outcome, there is controversy regarding the degree of brain damage …

Purpose: Status epilepticus (SE) is more common in children than adults and has a high
mortality and morbidity rate. SE in adult rats results in long‐term disturbances in learning …

One of the oldest questions in epilepsy is whether seizures are a cause or a result of brain
damage. Animal data have provided us with insights into the relationship between seizures …
