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 childs 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. Thats the bad news. bodyOffer(25064) The good news is that febrile seizures are generally not life-threatening. In many cases, if your child has a febrile seizure its likely that he or she wont have another. So, while it may be a frightening event, chances are your child doesnt 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.

APPLE UK STORE Epilepsy Action is the working name of British Epilepsy Association and is a Registered Charity (Registered in England No. 234343) Febrile Seizures Who do they affect? Seizures triggered by febrile illnesses are common in children between the ages of 6 months and five years. What causes them? For many children the fever will be caused by a minor infection such as a sore throat or ear infection, but sometimes more serious conditions such as meningitis or encephalitis can also cause a rapid rise in temperature and trigger a febrile seizure. Who is at risk? Generally, children under the age of 5 years. It is estimated that between 2-4 per cent of all children under the age of 5 will experience at least one febrile seizure. Children of parents with a history of febrile seizure are four times more likely than children in general to have febrile seizures themselves. Brothers and sisters of children with febrile convulsions have an 8 per cent risk of seizures when experiencing a febrile illness. While febrile convulsions are not considered to be epilepsy, children of parents with epilepsy have a 5 per cent chance of developing febrile seizures. Boys appear more vulnerable than girls.

These are usually harmless and occur most often from 6 months to 4 years, although they may occur up to 5 or 6 years of age. There is often a family member who had febrile seizures as a child. They occur in about 3 to 5 % of the population. Typically, the seizure occurs when the fever is rapidly increasing. They are typically brief, lasting only 3-5 minutes. They may occur with any type of infection that causes a fever. Any first febrile seizure should be evaluated by the doctor. The possibility of meningitis needs to be ruled out. Because a child has a history of febrile seizures does not mean they will go on to have epilepsy as an adult. The treatment is based on controlling fever with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Some children with complicated or frequent febrile seizures need prescription anti-seizure medicines. Febrile seizures generally do not cause brain damage unless they last for a long time (more than 5 0r 10 minutes) and the child is not getting enough oxygen.

What are Febrile Seizures in Children?
Febrile seizures are convulsions brought on by a fever in infants or small children. During a febrile seizure, a child often loses consciousness and shakes, moving limbs on both sides of the body. Less commonly, the child becomes rigid or has twitches in only a portion of the body, such as an arm or a leg, or on the right or the left side only. Most febrile seizures last a minute or two, although some can be as brief as a few seconds while others last for more than 15 minutes. The majority of children with febrile seizures have rectal temperatures greater than 102 degrees F. Most febrile seizures occur during the first day of a child's fever. Children prone to febrile seizures are not considered to have epilepsy, since epilepsy is characterized by recurrent seizures that are not triggered by fever.

Grand Mal Seizure
Central Nervous System About 3 to 5 percent 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 tempterature over 102.2 degrees 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 usually 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.

Alternate Names : Seizure - Fever Induced A febrile seizure may be diagnosed by the health care provider when a grand mal seizure occurs in a child with a fever and no prior history of seizure disorders ( epilepsy ). In infants and young children, it is important to rule out other causes for a first-time seizure, especially meningitis. In a typical febrile seizure, the examination usually shows no abnormalities other than the illness causing the fever. Typically, a full seizure workup including an EEG , head CT, and lumbar puncture ( spinal tap ) is not warranted.

    What is a febrile seizure?
    Most of the time when children have a seizure, or a convulsion, it's caused by a fever. These are called "fever seizures" or "febrile seizures." They are very frightening, but they aren't as dangerous as they may appear. Return to top
    How serious are febrile seizures?
    Generally, febrile seizures aren't harmful to a child. Even though seeing your child have a febrile seizure is frightening, your child will be okay. A febrile seizure doesn't cause brain damage. Also, your child can't swallow his or her tongue during a seizure. Febrile seizures usually last just a few minutes and go away on their own. It's very unusual for a febrile seizure to last more than 10 minutes. Usually, a child who has had a febrile seizure does not need to be hospitalized and may not need x-rays or a brain wave test. Your child may only need to be seen by your family doctor so the cause of the fever can be found. Return to top

    Febrile Seizure
    WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
    A febrile (FEB-rile) seizure (SEE-zhur) is a type of convulsion. It causes your child's face or body to tighten up and jerk or twist. It is the most common type of seizure, and may last from 1 to 10 minutes. Children between 6 months and 2 years are more likely to have a febrile seizure. The seizures do not cause brain damage. Most children will not have another one.
    Causes
    A temperature of about 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) or more. The fever may be the result of an infection.
    Signs/Symptoms
    Jerking or twitching of the arms, legs or face. When a seizure starts, the child may pass out. He or she may not be aware of the jerking. The child may urinate or have a bowel movement without knowing it, or may throw up. After the seizure, the child may seem irritable, confused, or sleepy.
    WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
    • If your child develops a fever, give a sponge bath to try to reduce the fever. The bath should be done in a warm room with warm water. Using a damp washcloth, gently rub the entire body. The child should be damp but not dripping wet. Do not use a fan or ice or cold water, and do not chill the child.
    • During a convulsion, protect the child from injury by moving dangerous objects away. Do not try to hold the child down. Do not put anything in his or her mouth.

    Febrile Seizures
    Febrile seizures are very common in children, occurring in about 2-5% of children. This rate is even higher if other family members also have febrile seizures. A febrile seizure is a seizure that is caused by your child having a fever, without having a specific infection, such as meningitis, which can also cause symptomatic seizures. They are most common in children between the ages of six months and five years, especially when they have a high fever that came on suddenly. Related Articles Evaluation of Seizures Types of Seizures Seizure Treatments Internet Links About Pediatrics Febrile seizures can either be simple , brief generalized seizures that only occur once, or complex Although frightening for parents when they occur, febrile seizures usually have no long term adverse affects. The biggest risk after having a febrile seizure is having another one, which occurs in about 30% of children, usually in the next six months. The risk of having another febrile seizure is higher if the first febrile seizure was when your child was under twelve months of age, if it was a complex febrile seizure, or if other family members have febrile seizures. It is lower, only about 10%, if the child has none of these risk factors.

Febrile seizures do not cause any permanent damage and usually do not require treatment. Children who have had a febrile seizure are at risk to have another one whenever they get a high fever, so you should aggressively treat their fevers with acetaminophen , ibuprofen and/or a lukewarm bath. You should call your doctor immediately if your child has a febrile seizure, or activate your local emergency services if the seizure doesn't end quickly.

    Febrile Seizures
  • What Is It? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info
  • What Is It? The brain's nerve cells (neurons) communicate with each other by giving off tiny electric signals. When someone has a seizure (convulsion), the way the brain's nerve cells give off signals suddenly changes, causing different muscles in the body to twitch or jerk uncontrollably. A seizure may affect only a small area of the brain and body (focal seizure), or it may involve the whole brain and body (generalized seizure).
