Yield of emergent neuroimaging in children with new-onset seizure and status epilepticus.
The purpose of this paper was to determine the yield of emergent neuroimaging among children with new-onset seizures presenting with status epilepticus. The authors found that a substantial minority of children with new-onset seizures presenting with status epilepticus have urgent or emergent intracranial pathology identified on neuroimaging and that magnetic resonance imaging is the preferred imaging modality when available and safe.
