Heat can cause epileptic seizures?

Accurate prediction of a heat convulsion can arise sequelae Whether it will become epilepsy, has been difficult. But according to some "risk factors" there is some estimate help. If the heat of the first attack is simple febrile seizures, convulsions before and normal nervous system, epilepsy rate was 1 percent; febrile seizures in the heat before had neurological abnormalities or for the complexity of febrile seizures, the incidence of epilepsy 2% to 3%; if convulsion before the heat of the nervous system and has been for the unusual complexity of the attack, the incidence of epilepsy for nine percent. And it is reported, heat febrile seizures in children if perinatal anomaly, when translated into epilepsy is often systemic attack. While some of the children with febrile seizures, convulsions long time, recurrent, or limitations of attack, beyond into epilepsy, often manifested as psychomotor epilepsy. In short heat febrile seizures generally good prognosis, some patients will only rarely translated into epilepsy, had sequelae, the incidence of febrile seizures to heat the 2 percent to 3 percent. When the heat in children with febrile seizures following risk factors, indicates the percentage change for epilepsy increased. (1) complexity of febrile seizures, the attack lasted approximately 15 minutes, the limit of the attack, less than 38 ° C at the onset, a fever several consecutive attacks. (2) thermal repeated recurrence of febrile seizures. (3) Effects of febrile seizures before nervous system anomalies, developmental abnormalities, mental retardation or perinatal anomaly. (4) in the first attack within the 1-year-old. (5) Families with epilepsy or thermal history of febrile seizures.
