Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index F febrile seizure Search febrile seizure A febrile seizure is a seizure caused by sudden elevation of the body temperature in a child in the proper age range, generally six months to three years old (some authorities extend the age range a bit but not beyond five or six years). Points about febrile seizures: Febrile seizures are frightening to the parents but do not cause any harm to the child unless very prolonged. The usual seizure lasts three to five minutes and is harmless to the child. Febrile seizures are essentially impossible to prevent. They generally occur on a rapid upswing in the temperature, often before the parents are aware the child even has a fever. Most children only have one or at most two such seizures in childhood. They do not cause epilepsy later in life. Febrile seizures are limited to the young, probably under three years old. A seizure with a concomitant fever in an older child is a different animal and may indeed be related to epilepsy. True febrile seizures are usually thought to be generalised (the whole body is involved) and not focal (for example involving only one arm or one side of the body) although a true febrile seizure may begin focally and progress to the whole body.

[drnathan/left.htm] Febrile seizure Convulsion that occurs in some otherwise normal children when their body temperature rises quickly. Children usually outgrow these types of seizures. Children show no neurological damage, but have a slightly increased risk of developing epilepsy in the future, although this is still not universally agreed upon. Any seizure that lasts five minutes or is associated with respiratory difficulty requires immediate emergency help (Dial 911). [drnathan/sitedex.htm]

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.

A child who has a febrile seizure usually doesn't need to be hospitalized. If the seizure is prolonged or is accompanied by a serious infection, or if the source of the infection cannot be determined, a doctor may recommend that the child be hospitalized for observation. Prolonged daily use of oral anticonvulsants, such as phenobarbital or valproate, to prevent febrile seizures is usually not recommended because of their potential for side effects and questionable effectiveness for preventing such seizures.

This handout is also available in Spanish. Information from Your Family Doctor Febrile Seizures: What Every Parent Should Know 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. 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. What should I do if my child has a seizure?
