Abstract
Results: The incidence of benign convulsion is 8,046/10,000 live births. 65% of included children were male, 26% had minimal, mild or moderate abnormalities in neurological evaluation at the time of first clinical examination. For a similar percentage we found nonspecific changes in laboratory values (23%), neurophysiological assessments (32%) and neuroimaging (26%). Spontaneous remission of seizures were observed in 38% of children with BPEI/BIFC. Analysis of SDQ did not show significant deviations in psyhosocial development. Statistically significant deviation was observed only in relations with peers (p=0.009). Conclusions: Benign neonatal and infantile convulsions are more frequent than severe epilepsies. Results show higher proportion of males with these conditions and no deviations in further development. Laboratory values, neuroimaging and neurophysiological assessments are normal or nonspecifically changed. Antiepileptic treatment is justified in a portion of children diagnosed with BPEI/BIFC.
