Febrile convulsions are sudden onset of convulsions in children 6 months to 6 years of age during the early stages of upper respiratory tract infections or other infectious diseases when the body temperature is 38°C or higher. Febrile convulsions are common in the pediatric period, accounting for 2.3-4.5% of children under 5 years of age. Most of them start between the age of 6 months and 5 years. Each febrile convulsion is itself a seizure, but because febrile convulsions have an age-related self-limiting tendency and rarely develop into recurrent fever-free convulsions later, they are diagnosed as seizures without a diagnosis of epilepsy in the classification of epilepsy syndromes. The epileptiform discharges of febrile convulsions are often characterized by a genetic predisposition and age-dependent episodes. Febrile convulsions are very closely related to epilepsy and can be termed as pyogenic epilepsy just as epilepsy induced by light and sound stimuli. On the other hand, febrile convulsions result in convulsive brain injury that can eventually turn into epilepsy. The risk factors for the development of febrile convulsions to epilepsy are: (i) pre-existing neurodevelopmental abnormalities; (ii) family history of epilepsy; and (iii) first seizure with complex febrile convulsion manifestations If one of these risk factors is present, the incidence of epilepsy is five times higher than in normal children.
