Overview

Febrile seizures are the most common seizure disorder in childhood, affecting 2–5% of children. Febrile seizures are defined as seizures in association with a febrile illness occurring in a child aged between 6 months and 5 years in the absence of a central nervous system infection, metabolic imbalance or history of febrile seizures. The view of febrile seizures has changed dramatically in the last few decades. The traditional belief that febrile seizures have bad prognosis has been replaced with a modern one that is based on large epidemiological studies and presented febrile seizures as a disease with excellent prognosis requiring minimum diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. This article provides a comprehensive overview of febrile seizures, including controversies in diagnosis, management and progn

Key words:
febrile seizures – epilepsy – electroencephalography – vaccination – benzodiazepines

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE “uniform requirements” for biomedical papers.
