Unprovoked seizures after complex febrile convulsions

Brain and Development, 2000
Children with complex febrile convulsions bear a higher risk of developing epilepsy than children with simple febrile convulsions. Complex febrile convulsions are defined by the presence of prolonged seizures, partial seizures and multiple seizures occurring during the same day. The aim of this study is to delineate the relative significance of each of

Cognitive and behavioural development in children presenting with complex febrile seizures: at onset and school age.

Epileptic disorders, 2021
OBJECTIVE Our goal was to assess development, cognition and behaviour following an initial complex febrile seizure (FS), at onset and school age, in the context of known risk factors for cognitive development. METHODS Two cohorts were recruited. Thirty-

Complex Febrile Seizures

Journal of Child Neurology, 2013
Febrile seizures are the most common type of childhood seizures, affecting 2% to 5% of children. A complex febrile seizure is one with focal onset, one that occurs more than once during a febrile illness, or one that lasts more than 10 to 15 minutes. Confusion still exists on the proper evaluation of a child presenting with a complex febrile seizure ...

Risk factors of epilepsy in children with complex febrile seizures; A Retrospective cohort study.

Pediatrics International, 2021
BACKGROUND Febrile seizures are the most common seizures in children. Children with complex febrile seizures have a higher risk of subsequent epilepsy compared with children with simple febrile seizures. Multiple risks factors of epilepsy including focal

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 ...

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.

The Role of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, Red Blood Cell Distribution Width, and Mean Platelet Volume in Predicting Febrile Seizures and Differentiating Febrile Seizure Types

Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy, 2021
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), platelet count (PLT), and mean platelet volume (MPV)/platelet ratio (MPR) are commonly known inflammatory markers measured by a routine peripheral blood test that have ...

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.

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.
