ABSTRACT

Objective: The study's major goals were to identify the aetiology of seizures, identify the sort of seizure that affect children most frequently, and evaluate the problems associated with seizures. Methods: The origin and consequences of the pediatric population's seizures, which were identified in 100 individuals, were evaluated by an observational and retrospective analysis. The hospital preceptor carefully checked, vetted, and confirmed the data obtained before entering it into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for further study. Results: In the study group of 100 pediatric population members, prevalence was higher in males (57%) than females (43%). Febrile seizures are often diagnosed. Idiopathic and viral infections are the main aetiology, and knowledge deficit becomes the most aggravating condition if untreated. Conclusion: The most frequent form of seizures is febrile seizures. We have even found that idiopathic causes are the most common aetiology in epilepsy, followed by infections (viral) and unknown genetic factors. Knowledge deficit and incontinence are the most aggravating condition with future complications.
