Summary
- I am a Pediatric Neurologist with special interest in Epilepsy. Although I am in partial retirement, I continue to act as Principal Investigator of the Imaging Core of the FEBSTAT project, a multicenter, NINDS funded longitudinal study entitled, “Consequences of Prolonged Febrile Seizures in Childhood” (PI Dr Shlomo Shinnar). This project was based to a large part on the widely cited preliminary study I conducted at Duke about 20 years ago (Vanlandingham, KE, Heinz, JE, Cavazos, JE, and Lewis, DV. MRI evidence of hippocampal injury following prolonged, focal febrile convulsions. Ann Neurol, 43:413-426, 1998). The goal of FEBSTAT is to determine the long term effects of infantile febrile status epilepticus on development and brain growth with special emphasis on the development of temporal lobe epilepsy. FEBSTAT is now in its 12th year and is providing valuable information on febrile status and its consequences (Publications listed under Publications and Presentations with “FEBSTAT Study” in title).
