AB Seizures  are  one  of  the  most  common  neurologic  disorders  in  childhood.  Approximately  25,000  to  40,000  children  in  the  United  States  experience  a  new-onset,  nonfebrile  seizure  every  year.  Based  on  a  careful  history  and  neurologic  examination,  the  presumed  etiology  may  be  determined  and  will  guide  the  ensuing  clinical  workup.  For  the  purposes  of  this  chapter,  febrile  seizures  and  status  epilepticus  are  excluded  from  the  discussion  and  are  discussed  elsewhere.
