INTRODUCTION Simple febrile seizures are generalised in onset, last <15 minutes, and do not occur more than once in 24 hours. Complex febrile seizures are longer lasting, have focal symptoms, and can recur within 24 hours. This review only deals with simple febrile seizures. About 2% to 5% of children in the USA and Western Europe, and 6% to 9% of infants and children in Japan will have experie...

Febrile seizure (FS) is the most common seizure disorder of childhood, and occurs in an age-related manner. FS are classified into simple and complex. FS has a multifactorial inheritance, suggesting that both genetic and environmental factors are causative. Various animal models have elucidated the pathophysiological mechanisms of FS. Risk factors for a first FS are a family history of the diso...

It is known that neuropeptide Y which is widely distributed throughout the central nervous system is able to prevent seizures in animals. There are limited studies about the role of neuropeptide Y in febrile seizures. This study was conducted to evaluate the association between plasma neuropeptide Y level and febrile seizures in children. Seventy six patients with typical and atypical febrile s...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BCECTS) is the most common pediatric focal epilepsy syndrome and typically has positive clinical outcomes. However, a few patients experience recurrent seizures, and therefore, require treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with poor response to initial AED thera...

Background: Serum prolactin level has been used as an alternative determinant to help differentiate epileptic from non-epileptic seizures. We aimed to analyze the association between serum prolactin concentration and epileptic seizure versus febrile seizure as well as seizure duration, single versus multiple seizure attacks and time lapse between seizure onset and blood sampling. Methods: Seven...

Background: Febrile seizures are common during childhood and have a good prognosis, although they cause fear and anxiety in parents. Parent education is an important intervention in febrile seizures. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two educational strategies, written information vs. written information plus verbal instruction on knowledge, attitudes, concerns, an...

Febrile seizures are the most common seizures seen in children younger than 5 years old. Out-of-hospital and emergency department providers need to be familiar with the principles of the evaluation and management of this common disorder. Most febrile seizures are brief, do not require any specific treatment or extensive workup, and have a benign prognosis. Recognizing the pattern of a simple fe...
