In all, 59 children were identified, 34 of whom (58%) had no other potential medical explanation for their seizures. Of these 34 children, 23 (68%) were afebrile at seizure onset and 11 were febrile. Electroencephalography was performed for 21 of the 34 children (62%); all findings were normal, except for a child with slowing related to cerebral edema. Twenty-six of the 34 children (76%) had neuroimaging studies; all findings were normal, except for the child with cerebral edema and a child with an incidental arachnoid cyst. Twenty of the 34 children (59%) had a lumbar puncture; again, all findings were normal. All 34 children recovered uneventfully, including the 6 children who spent at least 1 day in an intensive care unit. Follow-up data on 27 of these children identified 2 children (7%) who required chronic anticonvulsant therapy. The results indicate that seizures associated with rotavirus infection are a relatively benign neurologic condition in young children. With few exceptions, neurodiagnostic studies do not influence management or outcome. 2010 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/j.pediatrneurol.2010.03.002" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">10.1016/j.pediatrneurol.2010.03.002</a> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Article information provided for research and reference use only.
