Febrile seizures in an adult patient. i thought only little kids have febrile seizures.?

Fever as stress: Fever/illness/lack of sleep etc., all stress factors can set off a seizure in one prone to seizures. To call the adult event a "febrile seizure" is a misuse of a term limited by convention to a benign childhood condition. A more accepted term would be a seizure associated with fever and its long term prognosis would be much different..

Not febrile seizures: Adults do not experience febrile seizures. Instead, they can have epileptic seizures triggered by febrile illnesses which lower the threshold for sezirures.
