Abstract
Background: The pathogenesis of febrile convulsion (FC) which is the most frequent seizure disorder in childhood isn’t clear but changes in the serum level of neurotransmitters and trace elements such as magnesium are known to contributing risk factors.
Materials and Methods:�In this case-control study serum magnesium of 32 children with FC and 33 children without FC were compared.
Results: 25% of children with FC had serum magnesium level under 1.5 mg/dl. In the normal group no one had serum magnesium level under 1.5 mg/dl (p=0.05).
Conclusion:�Decreasing serum level in FC may be one contributing factor in the FC. It does not need to be lower than normal range in these groups of patients
