Is Complex Fetal Seizures a Risk Factor for Epilepsy?

complex febral seizures mean that you are more likely to have some type of epileptiform disorders, or some other likely process going on. Multiple complex features in combination do raise therisk of epilepsy. The one t that stands out is duration. But the literature actually is not for 15 minutes, for concern of subsequent epilepsy, is really for over half an hour. If a kid is presenting into the emergency department or to the e m s, i would imagine that it's not typicult for them to wait 15 minutes before just to see if they keep seizing. You wouldn't intentionally withhold treatment to see if it's complex? Direct never.
