ABSTRACT

Febrile seizures are a common presentation to emergency departments. While established guidelines exist, variation in the management and treatment of febrile seizures persists across emergency departments. This issue reviews the definition of pediatric febrile seizure and discusses the presentation, differential diagnosis, management, and prognosis. Anticipatory guidance for families and disposition considerations are also provided.
