(2005) reported a 4-generation Belgian family with febrile seizures and epilepsy compatible with GEFS+. Eight patients had seizures associated with fevers, but none developed epilepsy later in life. The febrile seizures occurred between ages 6 months and 2.5 years, and were generalized tonic-clonic in all cases. Most seizures were brief, but in 2 individuals they laster longer than 30 minutes. The number of seizures ranged from 1 to 3, except in 1 individual who had a total of 23 seizures. Three patients had epileptic seizures without a history of febrile seizures; however, 1 of these patients was deceased with scant clinical history, and a second patient had a parent with epilepsy who was not part of the Belgian family. The third patient without febrile seizures had a single absence seizure at age 9 months.
