Central nervous system Definition: A febrile seizure is a convulsion in a child triggered by a fever . Such convulsions occur without any underlying brain or spinal cord infection or other neurologic cause. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: About 3-5% of otherwise healthy children between the ages of 9 months and 5 years will have a seizure caused by a fever. Toddlers are most commonly affected. There is a tendency for febrile seizures to run in families. Most febrile seizures are triggered by a rapid rise of body temperature over 102.2�F. Most occur well within the first 24 hours of an illness, not necessarily when the fever is highest. The seizure is often the first sign of a fever. The first febrile seizure is one of life's most frightening moments for parents. Most parents are afraid that their child will die or have brain damage. Thankfully, simple febrile seizures are harmless. There is no evidence that simple febrile seizures cause death, brain damage, epilepsy, mental retardation, a decrease in IQ, or learning difficulties. Most febrile seizures are triggered by fevers from viral upper respiratory infections, ear infections, or roseola. Meningitis causes less than 0.1% of febrile seizures but should ALWAYS be considered, especially in children less than one year old or those who still look ill when the fever comes down.

    Extractions: PDF Version Search Send-to-Friend Health Library Home by Sylvia Sensiper A febrile seizure can be a frightening event for a parent or caregiver to witness. One minute your child is playing normally and the next minute she's dropped to the ground and her tiny body is flailing in erratic convulsions. Febrile (fever) seizures are generally brought on by a rapid increase in body temperature and occur mostly in children between the ages of six months and five years. The child loses consciousness and begins to shake, usually moving limbs on both sides of the body. Less commonly, the child becomes stiff or has twitches in only a portion of the body, such as an arm or leg. Most seizures last only a minute or two, and afterward the child will usually fall into a very deep sleep, waking up in a short time and returning to normal. While febrile seizures are common and usually benign it is important to have your child examined by his or her pediatrician if one occurs. The doctor will want to determine the cause of the fever and provide the proper medication. The pediatrician will also want to evaluate the child to exclude more serious conditions, as well as to identify if your child is at increased risk for recurrent or prolonged febrile seizures. Approximately one-third of children who have febrile seizures will have another, but you can take some precautions to help eliminate the likelihood of another occurrence.

Febrile seizures affect between 2 and 5 percent of all children in the United States. Usually, febrile seizures are benign in nature, with little postictal confusion or weakness. They are most common in children under five years of age and usually occur with a fever of 39.0 [degrees] C (102.2 [degrees] F) or greater. Peak incidence is at approximately two years of age. Applegate and Lo review the features, sequelae and management of febrile seizures. The primary sequelae of febrile seizures are recurrent febrile seizures and epilepsy. Children with simple febrile seizures (generalized, lasting up to 15 minutes and occurring only once in a 24-hour period) have a lower risk for sequelae than those children with complex febrile seizures (focal, lasting longer than 15 minutes and occurring more than once in a 24-hour period). Only 16 to 18 percent of febrile seizures are complex. Risk factors for the subsequent development of epilepsy include complex febrile seizures, abnormal preseizure neurologic status, a history of three or more febrile seizures and a positive family history for afebrile seizures.

These are known as febrile seizures. They can be very frightening, but they usually are not dangerous unless the child falls or has something in his or her mouth that causes choking. Febrile seizure is the most common cause of convulsions in children. It is estimated that between 2 and 5% of children in the United States will have a febrile convulsion before the age of 5 years old.

"Very prolonged febrile seizures, or status epilepticus, are those that occur for over 30 minutes," said Shlomo Shinnar, MD, PhD, director of Montefiore's Comprehensive Epilepsy Management Center, the Hyman Climenko Professor of Neuroscience at Montefiore, and the principal investigator in the study. "Our goal is to address one of the most controversial and important issues in epilepsy: do these prolonged febrile seizures damage the temporal lobe area of the brain and lead to epilepsy and possible memory problems in some children. If so, can we identify the children at risk for prolonged seizures and their consequences. This is a necessary first step to be able to prevent this damage from occurring."

    Extractions: Febril seizures and toddlers High fevers can cause febrile seizures, but most often while scary, these fevers often do not reoccur. Checking the small clock on the microwave, the mom noted that it was just 2:30 a.m. For more than 12 hours she had been awake comforting her two-year-old son as his temperature fluctuated between 100 and 103 degrees. Trying to calm her rising fears, the concerned mom began walking towards the telephone to call the child’s pediatrician. Before she reached her destination, the child began trembling uncontrollably. Horrified, the mom screamed for help, the toddler was having a seizure. Seizures like these that occur when your child is battling fever, usually during an illness, are dubbed febrile seizures. High fevers can cause seizures, but most often while scary, these fevers often do not recur. They can strike sick kids under age 5 with very high fevers and last upwards to 15 minutes. That’s the bad news. The good news is that febrile seizures are generally not life-threatening. In many cases, if your child has a febrile seizure it’s likely that he or she won’t have another. So, while it may be a frightening event, chances are your child doesn’t have epilepsy, a concern of many parents after their child has a febrile seizure. While febrile seizures often occur when a child is sick and/or has a fever, generally it is a one –time event. Epilepsy, on the other hand, is a medical condition in which a child (or adult) has frequent, non-fever-related seizures. In other words, these seizures can happen often and the person does not have to be otherwise ill.

Most febrile seizures last a minute or two; some can be as brief as a few seconds, while others last for more than 15 minutes. Febrile seizures usually occur in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years and are particularly common in toddlers. A few factors appear to boost a child's risk of having recurrent febrile seizures, including young age (less than 15 months) during the first seizures, frequent fevers, and having immediate family members with a history of febrile seizures.

     Extractions: An ambulance brings a 15 month old boy to the emergency department with a seizure associated with fever. He has been in good health except for a high fever that developed today to about 103-104 degrees. His mother gave him a small dose of acetaminophen. About 20 minutes ago when the mother was checking up on her child, she noticed shaking of the arms and legs and his eyes had a blank stare. This went on for what seemed like 5 minutes. She called 911 and an ambulance was dispatched. He has been ill with a high fever today and a slight cough and mild nasal congestion. Just prior to the seizure, he was playing with some toys. There is no vomiting, diarrhea, rash, or fussiness. Past medical history is unremarkable. Family history is significant for an uncle who has epilepsy. Exam: VS T 39.8 degrees C (103.6 degrees F), P 165, RR 30, BP 90/60, O2 sat 100% on RA. He is clingy, alert to his surroundings, and otherwise is in no distress. His mother appears anxious and there appears to be good bonding between her and her child. Skin is without bruising or neurocutaneous stigmata. Anterior fontanelle is closed. Pupils are equal and reactive. EOMs are conjugate. The red reflex is present bilaterally. There is no sunsetting of the eyes. TMs are normal. His mouth exam shows moist mucosa without erythema. The Brudzinski and Kernig signs are difficult to assess. Respirations are regular. Neurologically, he moves both arms and legs equally. His tone appears normal. The rest of the examination is normal.
