Extractions: Here's a typical story : "Tommy was just 14 months old. He caught a bad cold from one of the children in the playgroup. He had a fever and runny nose. He was taking a nap when I heard this strange banging sound. I ran into his room, and his whole body was stiff and shaking. The whole thing probably lasted less than 10 minutes. They were the longest 10 minutes of my life. He has never had another one, and doesn't need any seizure medication." Children aged 3 months to 5 years may have tonic-clonic seizures when they have a high fever. These are called febrile seizures (usually pronounced FEB-rile) and occur in 2% to 5% of all children. There is a slight tendency for them to run in families. If a child's parents, brothers or sisters, or other close relatives have had febrile seizures, the child is a bit more likely to have them.

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. 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. To prevent accidental injury, the child should be placed on a protected surface such as the floor or ground. The child should not be held or restrained during a convulsion. To prevent choking, the child should be placed on his or her side or stomach. When possible, the parent should gently remove all objects in the child's mouth. The parent should never place anything in the child's mouth during a convulsion. Once the seizure has ended, the child should be taken to his or her doctor to check for the source of the fever.

Extractions: Other problems of childhood This is the main fear when a child has febrile seizures. Will he go on to develop epilepsy as an adult? The risk for an otherwise normal child is approximately 1% about the same as for children who do not have febrile seizures. But certain factors increase the risk. Children with several of these factors have a risk factor of later epilepsy as high as 9%. The risk of meningitis in a young child with fever and convulsions is quite low (0-4%). This risk must not be overlooked, because meningitis is a life threatening disease. In young children, the signs of meningitis are often unclear. For this reason, children under one year should have a spinal tap done to rule out this dangerous disease. Certain signs like a rash, prolonged unconsciousness after the seizure, and stiffness of the neck, are associated with the presence of meningitis.

Extractions: Seizure Disorders In Childhood A family history of febrile seizures is identified in about 25% of cases. Since no clear pattern of inheritance has yet been elucidated, multifactorial genetic influences are postulated. Neuroimaging and EEG are usually normal in children having typical febrile seizures and need not be routinely performed in routines cases. These studies are sometimes indicated if seizures are atypical or presence of concurrent fever is not well established. The need for additional diagnostic studies such as CBC or lumbar puncture should be dictated by the severity of the underlying illness and signs on physical examination. Most children with typical febrile seizures do not require specific treatment except for vigorous antipyretic therapy during febrile illnesses. Children experiencing excessively frequent or prolonged febrile seizures may be treated using diazepam 0.5mg/kg rectally during high fevers or prophylactically using

febrile seizure. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A febrile seizureis a generalized convulsion caused by elevated body temperature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Febrile_seizure

Extractions: A febrile seizure is a generalized convulsion caused by elevated body temperature . They most commonly occur in children below the age of three years old. The diagnosis is one that must be arrived at by eliminating more serious causes of seizure : in particular, meningitis must be ruled out. It is reassuring if the cause of seizure can indeed be determined to have been fever , as febrile seizures generally do not cause permanent brain injury ; do not tend to recur frequently, as children tend to 'out-grow' them; and do not make the development of adult epilepsy more likely.

Extractions: Answer: Even if the seizure lasted only a few seconds, call your doctor and ask if you should bring the child in. If your baby started turning blue during the seizure, had convulsions that lasted for more than a few minutes, has trouble breathing after the seizure has passed, or is still drowsy or lethargic an hour later, call 911 and go to an emergency facility.

When do fever-related seizures tend to happen? ... How was the study done? What are febrile seizures and what causes them? Fever-related seizures are the most common type of seizure that occurs during childhood. These seizures generally develop when a childs temperature reaches 103.5 degrees or higher. Such seizures generally occur between 9 months and 5 years of age, and have a variety of causes. The most frequent causes of febrile seizures are viral infections of the upper respiratory tract (e.g., ear infections) and conditions like roseola. However, fever-related seizures may happen with any condition that causes a high fever. What are the health effects of fever-related seizures?

Extractions: At a glance Parents concerned about the link between childhood vaccinations and seizures need not worry, according to the results of this study. The study found that children who suffered rare fever-related seizures after getting DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, and whole-cell pertussis) and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccinations did not have an increased risk for subsequent seizures or neurodevelopmental (e.g., learning) disabilities. The study did confirm what was already known that DTP and MMR vaccinations can temporarily increase the risk for fever-related, or what are called "febrile" seizures, in some children. Since the period covered by this study, the use of acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine has replaced DTP vaccine in the United States. DTaP has been associated with fewer side effects than DTP, including febrile seizures.

Syndromes > Febrile Seizures Febrile Seizures Febrile seizures have the characteristics of an epileptic syndrome in that they involve generalized seizures, begin at a specific time, and are time limited in their effect. However, not all authorities consider them to be epilepsy. Febrile convulsions occur in children aged 3 months to 6 years whose temperatures are elevated from any cause other than a central nervous system (CNS) infection. The peak age is 18 months, with the majority of episodes occurring between 6 months and 3 years. Thirty to 40 percent of children with a single febrile convulsion experience a recurrence; 3 percent will develop epilepsy by age 7. Elevated temperature is the hallmark of febrile convulsions; 75 percent of the affected children had rectal temperatures above 39 degrees Celsius (102.2 Fahrenheit), although seizures may occur at lower levels. Brain damage is seldom a consequence of febrile seizures, and occurs only when the convulsion is prolonged.

Extractions: Search Conditions A- Z Search Categories Medication Administration français Febrile Seizure A febrile seizure (fever convulsion, "fit") causes your child's muscles to go into spasms. It usually happens when a child's temperature goes up really fast. Febrile seizure only happens in a very small number of children and does not cause any permanent damage. The chance of your child having another seizure is 25% to 30%. Most children will not have another one. The chance of your child having another seizure is greater if they are younger than 18 months, if there is a family history of febrile seizures, or if the fever was not very high when the seizure happened. Many doctors and parents think the side effects from the medicine that may prevent seizures are worse than the child having another febrile seizure. Even if your child takes the medicine, it may not stop them from having another seizure. Return to the Emergency Department IF: A seizure happens and your child does not have a fever.

The present study compares the efficacy of carbamazepine (20 mg/kg/day) and vigabatrin (250 mg/kg/day) in preventing hippocampal and amygdaloid damage in the perforant pathway stimulation model of status epilepticus in the rat... The amygdaloid neurons were not protected by any of the treatments. Our results show that even though vigabatrin and carbamazepine treatments had similar anticonvulsant efficacy during the perforant pathway stimulation, only vigabatrin but not carbamazepine decreased seizure-induced neuronal damage. Vigabatrin decreased neuronal damage in the hippocampus but not in the amygdala. These results demonstrate that different brain regions and neuronal networks may be protected unequally by different anticonvulsants.

Special Medical Reports The following is part of " Tips From Other Journals " from the September 15, 1997 edition of American Family Physician Predictors for the Risk of Recurrent Febrile Seizures Previous studies have shown that febrile seizures are not a form of epilepsy and do not predispose children to the later development of a seizure disorder. However, febrile seizures remain a significant concern to both parents and physicians. Berg and associates performed a prospective cohort study to identify predictors of single and multiple recurrent febrile seizures. The study included 428 children with a first febrile seizure who were followed for a period of two to 44 months (median follow-up: 29 months); 93.0 percent were followed for 12 months or longer; 86.9 percent for 18 months or longer; 82.9 percent for two years or longer, and 32.2 percent for three years or longer. Telephone interviews with the parents were conducted soon after the first seizure and at three-month intervals to investigate recurrent febrile seizures. The medical records pertaining to the first seizure and recurrent seizures were also reviewed when they were available. Information obtained during the interviews included the age and sex of the child, a family history of seizure, temperature as recorded by the parent or in the emergency department, a complete description of the seizure and the duration of the seizure.
