Abstract
Epileptic seizures are among the most frequent emergencies in pediatrics. Most seizures end spontaneously and there is no need for acute pharmaceutical interventions in these cases. The situation is different if seizures persist for several minutes. In order to minimize the now increasing risk for the occurrence of a status epilepticus, an acute anticonvulsive treatment should be initiated to prevent this happening or to end a status epilepticus that has already begun. This article presents the basic principles governing these emergency procedures.
