Background: Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common seizure disorder in children aged 6 months to 5 years. They are typically associated with fever without CNS infection or metabolic abnormalities.
Aim: To assess the clinical profile, risk factors, and types of febrile seizures among pediatric patients.
Methodology: A prospective observational study was conducted on 120 children presenting with febrile seizures. Clinical, demographic, familial, and laboratory parameters were evaluated.
Results: Majority of cases were aged 1–3 years (57%), with slight male predominance (M:F = 1.4:1). Simple febrile seizures were more common (72%) than complex febrile seizures (28%). Family history was present in 22% of cases. Viral respiratory infection was the most common precipitating illness.
Conclusion: Early identification of risk factors and counseling of parents can reduce anxiety, recurrence, and unnecessary investigations.
