Both over- and under-diagnoses are relatively common, and there is a growing trend to perform objective prolonged EEG monitoring in epilepsies in some high risk infants so that electrographic seizures may be detected early, and vigorous treatment with anti-seizure medications can be initiated ...

In infants, there was no association between vaccination timing and postvaccination seizures. [3] In the second year of life, however, the incident rate ratio (IRR) for seizures within 7-10 days was 2.65 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.99-3.55) after first MMR doses at 12-15 months ...
infants with seizures published in the 2000’s, we found a 11.3–38.9% occurrence of epilepsy, a 12–84.6% of cerebral palsy, and a 20–42.7% of intellectual disability or developmental delay. When a comparison group without seizures was present, outcome was worse in infants with seizures [...
