    (2023) André Costa Correia; Luiz Gustavo Vieira Gonçalves; Priscila Ariede Petinuci Bardal; Samanttha Cristina da Silva Chaves; Noelle Freire Santana; Rafael Pacheco Monteiro Ribeiro; Andre Luis Paz Rodriguez; Ana Laura Vefago; Ingrid Peres Siqueira; Bernardo Augusto Tostes de Azevedo
    Introduction:The febrile convulsive crisis is the most common convulsive crisis in childhood, with an approximate incidence of 2 to 5% of infants and preschoolers, and may or may not present with neurological sequelae. 1.Goal: Due to the importance of the epidemiology and etiology of this condition, this article aims to describe them.Method: The search was carried out in the PubMed, BVS and Scielo databases, and was limited to articles between the period 2019 to 2023 that met the criteria of being literature reviews and case reports.Result: It is essential to understand the difference between febrile seizures and epileptic seizures in the presence of fever. 2 .The risk of recurrence of the febrile crisis in other infectious processes is 30%, that is, children who had a seizure with fever may have a second episode 2 .The hyperthermia observed during infectious processes can reduce the seizure threshold and, in addition, the predominance of excitatory neurotransmitters, cytokines and the genetic pattern are all mechanisms that make the infant brain more vulnerable to triggering seizures in the presence of infection 7 .

    NEURONAL DAMAGE IN STATE EPILEPTICUS - LITERATURE REVIEW
    (2023) Alicia Viviana Méndez; Pedro Luís Nogueira da Silva; Luiz Gustavo Vieira Gonçalves; Samanttha Cristina da Silva Chaves; Raí Medeiros Veiga; Adrian Emanuel Rosales Mendez; Maria Vitória Lima Camilo; Larissa Cavalcanti de Andrade Nunes Mattos; Marcos Roberto Soares Filho; Renan Dantas Gonçalves da Silva
    Introduction: Status epilepticus is defined as the presence of a convulsive crisis lasting more than 30 minutes, or the presence of several sub-entering seizures without recovery of consciousness between them (FONSECA, et al., 2022).Objective: Gather information about the neuronal damage present in status epilepticus.Result: This state has a great capacity for neuronal damage, generating definitive sequelae or not.The period in which neuronal damage begins is not exactly known, but studies in primates reveal that cytoarchitectural changes begin to be identified after 60 minutes of uncontrolled seizures (BLAKA et al., 2022).Conclusion:The possible sequelae are diverse, such as dysfunction of higher functions, such as cognition, and lower functions, such as motor control, balance and proprioception (DE CASTRO, 2021).
