Abstract

 Introduction: A FS is defined by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE)as a seizure occurring in association with a febrile illness (FI) in the absence of a Central Nervous System (CNS) infection or acute electrolyte imbalance in children older than 1 month of age without prior afebrile seizures. Methodology: The data was collected from parents/guardian of children of age group 6 months to 5 years coming to pediatric emergency ward of VIMS, Bellary with Febrile Seizures. Results: In our study 37% cases were 6­ - 12 months. 25% cases were 1­2 years. 16% cases were 2­3 years. 10% cases were 3­4 years. 12% cases were 4­5 years. The mean age of cases was 34 months. Conclusion: Overwhelming 89% cases had generalized tonic -­clonic seizures and focal seizures were reported in only 11% of cases.
