Abstract:〔Abstract〕 Objective To study the effect of Electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics and abnormal sites on the occurrence of late epilepsy in children with febrile convulsion. Methods A total of 116 children with febrile convulsion admitted to Huaihe Hospital of Henan University from January 2018 to June 2022 were selected as subjects. There were 76 cases of normal children (normal EEG group) and 40 cases of abnormal children (abnormal EEG group). The clinicopathologic factors of children with normal and abnormal EEG were compared to analyze the incidence of epilepsy in children with abnormal EEG in different parts. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, family history of febrile convulsion and type of convulsion (P > 0.05). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the duration of febrile convulsion, the number of recurrent febrile convulsion, the age of the first attack and the manifestations of febrile convulsion (P < 0.05). The duration of febrile convulsion, the number of recurrent febrile convulsion and the proportion of general convulsion in children with febrile convulsion in the abnormal EEG group were significantly higher than those in the normal EEG group. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the age of first onset was significantly lower than that of the normal EEG group (P < 0.05). Among the 40 children with abnormal EEG heat convulsion, there were 23 cases (57.5 %) of diffuse abnormalities, 8 cases (20.0 %) of frontotemporal lobe abnormalities and 9 cases (22.5 %) of parieto-occipital lobe abnormalities. The diffuse abnormalities were significantly higher than those in frontotemporal lobe and parieto-occipital lobe regions, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Among the 116 children with febrile convulsion, 14 cases (12.1 %) had epilepsy, all of which occurred in the EEG abnormal group. The incidence of epilepsy in children with EEG abnormal frontotemporal region was significantly higher than that in children with diffuse and parieto-occipital region, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion The abnormal EEG in children with febrile convulsion is related to the duration of febrile convulsion, the frequency of recurrent febrile convulsion, the age of the first attack, and the manifestations of febrile convulsion. The incidence of epilepsy in children with abnormal EEG frontotemporal lobe region is significantly increased, and the children with abnormal EEG frontotemporal lobe region should be closely monitored clinically to improve their prognosis.
