Febrile seizures are seizures that occur between the ages of 6th month and 60 months (peak 12-18 months) with a temperature of 100.4 o F or higher, that are not the result of CNS infection or any metabolic imbalance, and that occur in the absence of a history of prior a febrile seizures. A simple febrile seizure is a primary generalized, usually tonic-clonic, attack associated with fever, lasting for a maximum of 15 min, and not recurrent within a 24-hr period. After getting informed written consent from the parents or care givers, Children of both sexes from 6 months to 60 months of age having simple or complex febrile seizure were admitted and investigated regarding various risk factors for recurrence of febrile seizure. Other etiologies causing fever with seizure were excluded by history, clinical examination and relevant investigations. Children with recurrent febrile seizures were reviewed with their old records. Among 100, 75 cases had experienced simple febrile seizure and others, 25 cases had complex febrile seizure. Hence, simple febrile seizure is the most common type of febrile seizure. Out of 100 patients, 60 patients experienced seizure lasting for less than 5 minutes and 40 patients had seizure lasting for more than 5 minutes. |
