Phenobarbital Administration

The riddle of febrile seizures is that despite their high risk of recurrence (35% to 50%), the natural history of the disorder is benign for the vast majority of children.1 If daily phenobarbital administration for several years is to be recommended after the first febrile seizure, it must be shown to be exceedingly effective and safe. The commendable study of Woff et al. is the second2 prospective randomized trial with concurrent controls of the efficacy of phenobarbital to prevent recurrent febrile seizures.

Management Algorithms

Abstract Arteriovenous malformations of the brain are a considerable source of morbidity and mortality for patients who harbor them. Although our understanding of this disease has improved, it remains in evolution. Advances in our ability to treat these malformations and the modes by which we address them have also improved substantially. However, the variety of patient clinical and disease scenarios often leads us into challenging and complex management algorithms as we balance the risks of treatment against the natural history of the disease. The goal of this article is to provide a focused review of the natural history of cerebral arteriovenous malformations, to examine the role of stereotactic radiosurgery, to discuss the role of endovascular therapy as it relates to stereotactic radiosurgery, and to look toward future advances.
