Children With Complex Febrile Seizures: Is Hospital Admission Necessary?

Clinical Pediatrics, 2021
Children with complex febrile seizure (CFS) are often hospitalized for concerns for serious bacterial infection (SBI) or seizure recurrence. We describe the yield of diagnostic studies and seizure recurrence during hospitalization in CFS children. We performed a retrospective review of 372 visits in 350 developmentally normal children aged 6 to 60 ...

Cerebral Abscess Presenting as a Complex Febrile Seizure

Pediatric Emergency Care, 2015
Currently, there is no standardized approach to the management of complex febrile seizures in children and there are no published practice guidelines for the procurement of neuroimaging. Presented is a 2-year-old female patient who experienced a 3- to 5-minute episode of staring and unilateral mouth twitching associated with high fever.

Pathogenetic role of monoamine metabolism in complex febrile seizures

Pediatric Neurology, 1999
To investigate the pathogenetic role of monoamine metabolism for febrile seizures, concentrations of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were evaluated in the lumbar cerebrospinal fluid of affected children. This series included children who underwent lumbar puncture within 4 hours after seizures, at which time the lumbar cerebrospinal ...

Development of hippocampal sclerosis after a complex febrile seizure

European Journal of Pediatrics, 2008
The role of prolonged febrile seizures in the genesis of hippocampal sclerosis is controversial; statistical analysis and data from epilepsy surgery suggest a causal relationship. A three-year-old boy had an initial febrile seizure with a transient postictal flaccid hemiparesis.

Influenza A as a Common Viral Cause of Complex Febrile Seizures

Journal of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2021
AbstractObjective The most common childhood convulsive disorder happens to be febrile seizure (FS), which is an important health problem leading to economic burden and parental anxiety. Further investigation into the etiological causes of FS will guide us for appropriate measures during the follow-up period.

Utility of initial EEG in first complex febrile seizure

Epilepsy & Behavior, 2015
The risk of developing epilepsy following febrile seizures (FS) varies between 2% and 10%, with complex febrile seizures (CFS) having a higher risk. We examined the utility of detected epileptiform abnormalities on the initial EEG following a first CFS in predicting subsequent epilepsy.This was a retrospective study of consecutive patients (ages 6-60 ...

Complex Febrile Seizures: An Update

Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy, 2019
AbstractFebrile seizures are the most common seizures in childhood. Febrile seizures are divided into two groups: simple and complex. Simple febrile seizures (SFS) are generalized, short, and occur only once in 24 hours. Complex febrile seizures are prolonged, focal, or repeat more than once in 24 hours.

Classification of Complex Features of Febrile Seizures: Interrater Agreement

Epilepsia, 1992
Summary: As part of a prospective study of febrile seizures, three independent pediatric neurologists rated each of 100 febrile seizures for the presence of complex features: focality, long duration (≥10 min), and occurrence of multiple seizures.

Complex Febrile Seizures: Usual and the Unusual

Indian Journal of Pediatrics
Febrile seizures account for 2 to 14% of all childhood seizures, and one-third of febrile seizures are complex febrile seizures. Despite this, there is a lack of clinical equipoise in the diagnosis and management of complex febrile seizures and this results in significant practice variability amongst physicians.

Volumetric magnetic resonance imaging differences between complex febrile seizure and recurrent simple febrile seizure

Brain and Development
We investigated the volumetric differences in cortical and subcortical structures between patients with complex febrile seizure (FS) and recurrent simple FS. We aimed to identify the brain morphological patterns of children with complex FS.Twenty-five patients with complex FS and age- and sex-matched 25 patients with recurrent simple FS with structural
