title: [Situation-related seizures in patients at developmental age].
abstract: The seizures which accompany specified situations occur in about 5% of population. They are frequent in patients at developmental age due to a different degree of brain maturity. A single, occasional seizure event which occurs in specified situations is not an epilepsy but it constitutes a significant clinical problem which requires a thorough diagnostics and procedure. We discuss situation-related seizures (also called acute symptomatic seizures) in children, excluding febrile convulsions. We bring attention to situation-related seizures characteristic only of developmental age.
