چکیده
Febrile seizure is the most common seizure disorder in children. Approximately 2-5% of children will experience a febrile seizure. There are two types of febrile seizure: simple and complex. The two types vary in their characteristics and also in their prognosis. Simple febrile seizures are generally benign neurological events that carry an excellent prognosis. On the other hand, research shows an association between complex febrile seizures and temporal lobe epilepsy, which is the most common type of partial epilepsy. This literature review will discuss the etiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of both simple and complex febrile seizures. The final section of this literature review will focus on the relationship between febrile seizures and temporal lobe epilepsy by summarizing current understanding of the association and suggesting potential future directions.
