Abstract

Febrile seizures are very common in pediatrics. They recur in 30 to 40 % of cases, but are not an epileptic syndrome. In most cases, they are benign and disappear by the age of 6. In rare cases, they may evolve into epilepsy.Children's cognitive development is similar to that of the general population of the same age. These febrile seizures rarely require further investigation or anti-epileptic treatment. These children should be monitored by their GP or paediatrician.It is important to be aware of the warning signs that will require specialized consultation, and in the absence of such signs, to reassure parents and educate them about what to do in the event of a seizure.
