Typically febrile seizures are limited to the age range of 3 months to 6 years and not accompanied or preceded by afebrile seizures; in this case febrile seizures are not considered indicative of epilepsy. When febrile seizures occur prior to the age of 3 months, or continue beyond the 6th birthday, or when a person has both febrile seizures and afebrile generalized tonic-clonic seizures then a diagnosis of Febrile Seizures Plus (an epilepsy syndrome) may be made.
