Abstract：
Burns are very common and important injuries associated with epilepsy. Epileptics are afflicted with burns when they come in contact with fire or other burning agents while seizing, due to loss of consciousness. The aim of the study was to identify the causes of burn, pattern and characteristics of burn in patients with epilepsy, duration of hospital stay and pattern of treatment in these patients. This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh from January 2022 to December 2023. Epileptics were found in 0.84% (n=19) of the total admission (2274) in Burn unit. Majority of the patients were females (84.2%) and the mean age was (31.42±1.32) years. Maximum patients were housewives (78.9%). Among 19 cases, 11 cases (57.89%) had history of irregularly taking antiepileptic drugs and 8 cases (42.11%) had no history of treatment for epilepsy. Two cases (10.53%) had history of previous burn injury. Flame burn was the major etiology (89.5%). Mean total burn surface area (TBSA) was (6.94±4.12%). Most patients had full thickness burns (63.2%). Regarding distribution of burn, maximum involvement was in upper limb i.e. 68.21% cases. Surgical treatment was needed in the majority of the patients (68.5%). Mean hospital stay of these patients was (5.36±2.26) weeks. Epilepsy patients whose seizures are inadequately controlled are at increased risks of injury, especially burn. For prevention of burn, epilepsy should be treated properly.
