Febrile Seizures
Febrile status epilepticus
Status epilepticus refers to a single long-lasting seizure, or several shorter seizures that occur without the child regaining consciousness between seizures. Febrile seizures that last 30 minutes or more are considered febrile status epilepticus. Children with febrile status epilepticus are at risk of brain damage if not treated promptly.
