Abstract
Although fever partially influenced the clinical features of AGE-related seizures, febrile CwG might have pathophysiology distinctly different from that of febrile seizures. Comprehensive knowledge in discerning febrile and afebrile CwG can help to avoid unnecessary diagnostics tests, and anticonvulsants use.
