Definition
Febrile seizure plus • Febrile seizures beyond the typical limit of 6 years
• Afebrile convulsion in addition to the FS
(FS+)
• Electroencephalography (EEG)
• Only focal seizures
• Does not predict epilepsy
• Imaging
• Not routinely in simple febrile seizures
• Focal seizures, persistent focal neurology abnormality
Maintenance prophylaxis :
• Focal seizures
• Seizures >15 minutes
• Neurology deficit before and after seizures : cerebral
palsy, hydrocephalus, hemiparesis.
• Intermitten prophylaxis first before maintenance
prophylaxis.

Therapy
• FS+
• Treated as febrile seizures
• No formal guidelines
• AED can not prevent development of epilepsy
• GEFS+
• Depends on the seizure type/broad-spectrum anticonvulsant
• No formal guidelines.
• Patients with sodium channel mutations, avoidance of sodium
channel blockers is wise.
• Avoidance of temperature changes and routine use of fever control
measures may be of some benefit.
