Dravet Syndrome Should be Remembered in Vaccine Related Seizures
(Kırıkkale Üniversitesi, 2023) Koral, Ümran; Alpcan, Ayşegül; Tursun, Serkan; Şenbil, Nesrin
Dravet syndrome is an epileptic encephalopathy that accounts for approximately 1.4% of childhood epilepsies. The first seizure in Dravet syndrome typically occurs in most patients under one year of age, usually in a febrile episode (sometimes post-vaccination) and is also diagnosed as a complicated febrile convulsion. At the onset of the disease electroencephalography and cranial magnetic resonance imaging are expected to be normal. In the follow-up, febrile status epilepticus, afebrile seizures, regression in cognitive and motor development occurs. SCNA1A gene variants can be detected in 75-80% of patients clinically diagnosed with Dravet syndrome. SCN1A gene is a gene involved in the formation of Nav1.1 protein, which encodes sodium channels located in the cell membrane and plays a role in the regular functioning of the nervous system. A patient with recurrent febrile seizures, febrile status epilepticus, febrile seizure after the 3rd dose of mixed vaccine and diagnosed as Dravet syndrome at the age of 8 months was presented and the importance of early diagnosis of Dravet syndrome especially in post-vaccine seizures was emphasized.
