Short-term risk of relapse after a first unprovoked seizure in an adult population

ConclusionMost patients with FUS diagnosed in the ED did not present seizure recurrence within the first month, especially if no specific risk factors were present (focal seizure, abnormal EEG within first 48 hours). The systematic use of prophylactic AED (benzodiazepines) is not recommended in the ED in the clinical setting of FUS. A specialized consultation within a one-month period is safe and adequate for FUS follow-up.
