title: A simple febrile seizure with focal onset.
abstract: Simple febrile seizures last for less than 10 minutes and resolve spontaneously, in the context of a febrile illness, without focal features or recurrence during the subsequent 24 hours. We report the case of fortuitous video-EEG recording of a FS, clinically classified as "simple", which demonstrated a focal, temporal onset. This clinical finding is in agreement with animal model studies demonstrating focal onset.
