The document discusses the high prevalence of epilepsy and seizures found in individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). It summarizes several studies that have evaluated clinical, electroencephalographic, and neuroradiologic features of seizures in pediatric FASD cases. One study found seizures and abnormal electroencephalography findings in 61 patients with FASD. Another review article discusses the relationship between FASD and seizure disorders. Finally, a thesis is cited that examined the prevalence of epilepsy and seizures in subjects with FASD.
