Intracerebral hemorrhage causes substantial risk of seizures and epilepsy in babies and children
When infants and children suffer an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), there is substantial risk of seizures and epilepsy. Many seizures that follow ICH can only be detected on an EEG. Thus, routine EEG monitoring of children with ICH is essential. Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a risk factor for seizures and epilepsy and should therefore be promptly treated.
