ABSTRACT
Patients with epilepsy are a high-risk population for severe burns. A retrospective study was conducted to assess burns during epileptic seizure in epileptic patients. The study was conducted in a 20- bed burn ICU in Tunis over the period 01/01/2011 to 30/06/2019. Fifty cases combining burns and epilepsy were reviewed. Twenty patients (11 women and 9 men, sex-ratio 0.6) suffering a burn following an epileptic seizure were included. The average age was 46. Epileptic disease was uncontrolled in 75% of our patients and 35% were not receiving any antiepileptic treatment. Burns were related to domestic accident in 95% of cases, 2/3 of which were related to a fall on a brazier. Lesions were deep in 70% of cases, requiring excision of necrotic tissue. Only two patients benefited from a dermal-epidermal graft. Amputation was necessary in 5 patients. Mortality was 25%, related to refractory septic shock.
