Abstract:
Convulsion is a common pediatric emergency and the most frequent clinical feature among the diseases of nervous system in children.Convulsion emergencies are potèntially life-threatening events.Brief convulsions rarely produce lasting effects on the brain.Prolonged convulsions,especially status epilepticus,can lead to permanent neurologic damage.Airway management and timely termination of the convulsion are the initial priorities.Early recognition and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective emergency treatment of convulsion.
