Nonconvulsive Seizures are Common in Critically Ill Children
Neurol 76:1071-1074, Abend,N.S.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Seizures were common in critically ill children with acute encephalopathy. Most were nonconclusive. Clinical features had little predictive value for seizure occurrence. Further study is needed to confirm these data in independent high-risk populations, to clarify which children are at highest risk for seizures so limited monitoring resources can be allocated optimally, and to determine whether seizure detection and management improves outcome.
