Sar‘ al-Atfal
Term Code:
UMA-0070
Description:
Epilepsy that occurs in children. Affected children experience convulsions with frothing from mouth. Most physicians think that Umm al-Sibyan and Rih al- Sibyan are one and the same as is Sar‘ al- Atfal, but some physicians do not support this statement. They think that Umm al- Sibyan is a type of Sar‘(epilepsy) which is accompanied with high fever. Its possible
English equivalent is infantile epilepsy.
