Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients of benign convulsions associated with mild gastroenteritis(BICE). Methods The clinical manifestation of 48 patients were evaluated who hospitalized from January 2013 to February 2016,and then followed for 2~39 months. Results The age of onset was minimum 5 months,maximum 33 months respectively,the ratio of male to female was 5∶7.Convulsions occurred in 11 patients on the first day,9 patients on the second day and 28 patients on the third to seventh day.Convulsion occured in 34 cases for less than 5 minutes,14 cases for more than 5 minutes.In children with 48 cases,38 children had generalised seizures and 10 had partial seizures.The interctal EEG was abnormal in 15 patients.7 cases had family history of convulsion.7 cases had abnormal imaging examination.During the follow up,6 cases (12.50%)sufered from recurrence of seizure,5 of them had abnormal EEG and diagnosed as epilepsy. Conclusion Prognosis can have a good effect on patients with BICE,but a few have the risk of recurrence,the abnormal EEG might be the high risk factor,which is necessary for the children to follow up.
