OBJECTIVE
Hot water epilepsy (HWE) or bathing epilepsy is one of the reflex epilepsies induced by hot water pouring over the head, face, neck, or trunk during bathing. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the clinical and electroencephalographic features and the management alternatives of the
Presented is the case of a normal two-month-old girl who developed seizures secondary to water intoxication. The infant had been fed 20 to 30 oz of water daily for three days, while her usual formula was withheld because of vomiting and diarrhea. On the day of admission, the infant exhibited signs
In recent years, hyponatremic seizures resulting from water intoxication have been reported in the United States with an increasing frequency that some have likened to an epidemic. Infants of parents living in poverty and uninformed of the risks of feeding fluids other than infant formula to their
Water toxicity can occur due to numerous etiologies but is challenging to diagnose as it presents with vague symptoms of altered mental status, disorientation, confusion, nausea, and vomiting which may resemble psychosis. It may be misdiagnosed on presentation, due to the variability of symptoms. To
A case of hot water epilepsy is presented and the literature on the subject is reviewed. The data show that hot water epilepsy is a benign form of reflex epilepsy occurring mainly in children. Males are affected more than females. The triggering stimulus is immersion in hot water (over 37 degrees
Six new cases of psychogenic water intoxication are discussed in the light of 150 observations published in the literature since 1935. 87% of all patients were schizophrenic, and 13% had other psychoses and a variety of functional and organic psychopathies. Psychogenic polydipsia is a prerequisite
The clinical and EEG features of 10 patients with hot water epilepsy were presented. Eight of the 10 cases were male. The mean age of onset was 4.7 years. In four patients partial and in six cases generalized seizures were seen. Three patients also had non-hot water precipitated seizures. Interictal
Divers suspected of suffering decompression illness (DCI) in locations remote from a recompression chamber are sometimes treated with in-water recompression (IWR). There are no data that establish the benefits of IWR compared to conventional first aid with surface oxygen and transport to the nearest
A case of infantile seizures of unusual etiology and presentation is described. Water intoxication with resultant epilepticus was caused by ingestion of nearly 150 ml/kg of fresh water on the day of presentation. It is unclear why the infant voluntarily consumed so much water, but heat illness is
Geographically specific epilepsy syndromes are of epidemiologic interest and may assist in understanding the pathogenic mechanism of epilepsy in general. Some may have a genetic basis with added environmental influence. Among these epilepsy syndromes in India is an interesting type of reflex seizure
We studied two neonates fed diluted formula and excessive water who developed hyponatraemic convulsions; treatment included intravenous hypertonic saline and water restriction. Educating mothers is important to stop recurrences.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this feasibility study was to investigate whether myelin water fraction (MWF) patterns can differentiate children presenting with febrile seizures who will go on to develop nonfebrile epilepsy from those who will not.
METHODS
As part of a prospective study of myelination
