Abstract

Purpose: The association of febrile convulsions and mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is a well-known phenomenon. However, the effects of mental retardation on febrile convulsions and MTS have not been investigated previously. The aim of this study is to investigate the relation of mental retardation to febrile convulsions especially as febrile status epilepticus and MTS.
