FIRES, however, can affect individuals of all ages and is a subcategory of new-onset refractory status epilepticus. This definition of FIRES excludes febrile status epilepticus in infants. FIRES is a rare type of epileptic encephalopathy with rapidly progressive onset of seizures and a devastating prognosis, as drug-resistant epilepsy often follows without a latency period. Although the exact pathogenesis of FIRES has not been elucidated, a functional deficiency in the endogenous interleukin-1 receptor antagonist has been implicated in a genetic predisposition to FIRES. Dysregulation of the interleukin-1 β –interleukin-1 receptor 1 (IL-1 β –IL-1R1) signaling pathway appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of FIRES. In this review, the authors summarize the definition of FIRES, IL-1 β –IL-1R1 signaling, the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain the NLRP3 inflammasome, and IL-1 targeted therapy for FIRES.","PeriodicalId":33305,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Child Neurology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47860433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to characterize our pediatric cases of SE in an 11-year period according to the 2015 International League Against Epilepsy report. Methods: Clinical electronic records were retrospectively reviewed. All pediatric SE cases admitted from January 2010 to December 2020 were included, excluding neonates. SE was considered refractory if it persisted despite the administration of two appropriate antiseizure medications at acceptable doses. Results: We included 102 episodes, 55 (53.9%) in boys. The median age was 2.5 years (interquartile range, 1.3 to 5.0). Most episodes were classified as SE with prominent motor features (92.2%), and the most frequent etiological classification was acute symptomatic cause (84.3%). A benzodiazepine was used as the first-line antiseizure medication in 99 (97%) cases, of which diazepam was preferred (93%). The preferred second-line medication was phenytoin (65.7%). Midazolam was the most frequently responsible for termination of SE when given in a continuous infusion (47%). Episodes of SE were classified as refractory in 81 (79.4%) cases. Episodes of >60 minutes were more frequent in patients diagnosed with epilepsy ( P =0.036), focal motor SE ( P <0.001), and non-convulsive SE ( P =0.037). The in-hospital mortality rate was 2.9%. Conclusion: Most of our findings are in accord with the current literature. Epilepsy, non-convulsive SE, and focal motor SE were associated with prolonged duration (>60 minutes), which rein-forces the significance of the underlying neurological disease and semiological standardization in pediatric SE.","PeriodicalId":33305,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Child Neurology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46269187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
