Abstract

Křeče jsou definovány jako nekoordinované, mimovolné svalové kontrakce. Kumulace křečové aktivity je nutno považovat za život ohrožující stav, kde primárním terapeutickým cílem je co nejrychleji ukončit křečovou aktivitu (farmakologicky). Křeče jsou projevem patologického stavu, a proto je nutné pátrat po etiologii vzniku křečí. Incidence a prevalence alespoň jedné epizody křečí v průběhu života dosahuje dle literárních dat v populaci 5–10 %, z toho nejvyšší incidence je v časném dětství a pozdní dospělosti.

Abstract (in English)

Convulsions are defined as uncoordinated, involuntary muscle contractions. The accumulation of convulsive activity must be considered a life-threatening condition where the primary therapeutic goal is to terminate convulsive activity as soon as possible (pharmacologically). Convulsions are a manifestation of a pathological condition, and therefore it is necessary to look for the etiology of convulsions. According to literature data, the incidence and prevalence of at least one episode of seizures during life reaches 5–10% in the population, of which the highest incidence is in early childhood and late adulthood.
