Objetivos: Describir la frecuencia y características de las crisis epilépticas en niños con IRC-T. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, tipo serie de casos. Se incluyeron 24 pacientes menores de 14 años de ambos sexos con IRC-T que presentaron al menos un episodio de crisis epiléptica, atendidos en el Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia entre enero de 1998 y marzo de 2006.
