Mossy fiber plasticity and enhanced hippocampal excitability, without hippocampal cell loss or altered neurogenesis, in an animal model of prolonged febrile seizures. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Seizures induced by fever (febrile seizures) are the most frequent seizures affecting infants and children; however, their impact on the developing hippocampal formation is not completely understood.

Febrile Seizures – Can Vitamin C Act as Prophylactic Agent? [PDF]

open access: yesNational Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2017
Introduction: Febrile convulsions are defined as seizures in children between 6 months to 5 years of age, accompanied with fever, but without evidence of underlying CNS infection. The incidence is about 2-5% in the population.

Current understanding of febrile seizures and their long‐term outcomes

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2020
In this paper we reframe febrile seizures, which are viewed as a symptom of an underlying brain disorder. The general observation is that a small cohort of children will develop febrile seizures (2–5% in the West), while the greater majority will not ...

Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus – an overview [PDF]

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Neurology, 2021
Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is characterized by a group of genetic epilepsies associated predominately with an autosomal dominant pattern, but also with de novo and autosomal-recessive inheritance, these last two found in a small ...

Structure‐based discovery of CZL80, a caspase‐1 inhibitor with therapeutic potential for febrile seizures and later enhanced epileptogenic susceptibility

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2020
Febrile seizures (FS), the most common seizures in childhood and often accompanied by later epileptogenesis, are not well controlled. Inflammatory processes have been implicated in the pathophysiology of epilepsy.

Epilepsy, hippocampal sclerosis and febrile seizures linked by common genetic variation around SCN1A [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Epilepsy comprises several syndromes, amongst the most common being mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis. Seizures in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis are typically drug-resistant, and mesial temporal lobe ...

Serum Neurofilament Levels in Children With Febrile Seizures and in Controls

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Objective Neuroaxonal damage is reflected by serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) values in a variety of acute and degenerative diseases of the brain. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of febrile and epileptic seizures on sNfL, serum ...

Fever, febrile seizures and epilepsy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Seizures induced by fever (febrile seizures) are the most common type of pathological brain activity in infants and children. These febrile seizures and their potential contribution to the mechanisms of limbic (temporal lobe) epilepsy have been a topic ...

Serum Sodium Levels Predict the Recurrence of Febrile Seizure within 24 Hours

open access: yesJournal of Health Science and Medical Research (JHSMR), 2019
Objective: Febrile seizure is a common disorder in children that occurs in 2.5% of children 6-60 months of age. The study was conducted to ascertain the role of serum sodium as a predictor of seizure recurrence within the same febrile illness.

EEG for children with complex febrile seizures.

open access: yesCochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2020
BACKGROUND Febrile seizures can be classified as simple or complex. Complex febrile seizures are associated with fever that lasts longer than 15 minutes, occur more than once within 24 hours, and are confined to one side of the child's body. It is common
