Abstract :

Background: Febrile seizures are seizures that occur when there is an increase in body temperature (rectal temperature more than 38°C) because of extra cranium process. Febrile seizures usually occur before the age of 9 and after 5 years old. Several predictor factors that could cause the febrile seizures are age, fever, genetic factors, a history of problems faced during pregnancy and obstetrics, and infections. Febrile seizures can reoccur if fever were present again. The risk for recurrence range from 40-50%. Treatment of febrile seizures need immediate assistance to prevent permanent disabilities due to seizures and lack of knowledge about seizures of the people especially people still living in the country side. Therefore, it is important to know the predictor factor as it may be of use to overcome the problems mentioned above.
