Resumen

TORO-PEREZ, Juan Enrique  y  CUSTODIO, Nilton. Management of first nonfebrile seizure: Importance of clinical approach. Rev Neuropsiquiatr [online]. 2017, vol.80, n.1, pp.27-34. ISSN 0034-8597.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rnp.v80i1.3057.

Seizures or an epileptic crisis is a traumatic event, both of physical and psychological nature that poses difficulties in the diagnostic process and many questions for its immediate and long-term management. The recurrence of an epileptic crisis causes even more serious and costly problems in the personal, family and work life of the affected individual. Due to this, a correct approach to the management of patients with a first afebrile crisis must be a priority of the health systems, with the primary purpose of preventing recurrences. The choice of an anti-epileptic drug will depend on a detailed anamnesis of the clinical event and onthe information from neurophysiological tests and brain imaging studies.

Palabras clave : Anti-epileptics; seizure; diagnosis; epilepsy; treatment.
