Özet

Purpose: Despite their age-dependent definition, febrile seizures (FS) may be observed in people of almost any age. The risk of developing unprovoked seizures after an FS is well defined. However, there are limited data about FS starting or persisting after 5 years of age. In the present study, we evaluated patients who developed FS after 5 years of age.
