Abstract

Background: This study is to describe the clinical profile of children presenting with seizure including common causes of seizure and classify the seizure types.

Methods:  Hospital-based, analytic and descriptive study. This study includes all children in the age group 6 months to 12 years who presented in the department of paediatrics with seizure.

Results: Seizures presented with fever in 36.00% of cases

Conclusions: Seizures are one of the common causes of hospitalization. It can be inferred from this study that CNS infections are the most common cause of acute symptomatic seizure. The improvement in health care facilities like sanitation and immunization is warranted to prevent it.
