Risk factors for acute encephalitis and early seizure recurrence in complex febrile seizures
European Journal of Pediatrics, 2022The purpose of this study is to elucidate risk factors for central nervous system infection and early seizure recurrence in children with febrile seizures (FSs) and thus facilitate outpatient management of complex FS. This single-center, retrospective cohort study investigated 688 children (6-60 months old) with FSs in Japan during 2011-2021.

Utility of initial EEG in first complex febrile seizure
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2015The 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 ...

Children With Complex Febrile Seizures: Is Hospital Admission Necessary?
Clinical Pediatrics, 2021Children 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 ...

Development of hippocampal sclerosis after a complex febrile seizure
European Journal of Pediatrics, 2008The 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.

Should patients with complex febrile seizure be admitted for further management?
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2018Children with first complex febrile seizure (CFS) are often admitted for observation. The goals of this study were 1) to assess the risk of seizure recurrence during admission, 2) to determine whether early EEG affects acute management.We retrospectively reviewed a cohort of children 6-60months of age admitted from a Pediatric Emergency Department for ...

Epilepsia, 1996
Summary:In the context of a prospective cohort study, we examined the associations between individual complex features of both first (n = 428) and recurrent (n = 240) febrile seizures and factors shown to predict outcome in children with febrile seizures.

Febrile seizures in patients with complex partial seizures
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2009Febrile seizures occurred in 14 of 155 (9%) out-patients with complex partial seizures. Twelve patients had prolonged or recurrent febrile seizures, convulsive status epilepticus or a transient postictal neurological deficit. Febrile seizures were associated with perinatal abnormalities, an earlier onset of epilepsy and with a poor seizure control ...
