Select seizure type (generalized, focal, absence, myoclonic), duration (>5 min), fever, postictal state, age, EEG findings, and family history → differentiate febrile seizure, generalized epilepsy (absence, GTC), focal epilepsy, infantile spasms, Lennox‑Gastaut, and status epilepticus.
⚠️ Red flags: status epilepticus (seizure >5 min), focal deficit, first seizure with fever in <18m → CSF for meningitis.
Select seizure type (generalized tonic‑clonic, focal, absence, myoclonic), duration, fever, postictal state, age (infant, child, adolescent), EEG findings, and family history → differentiate febrile seizure (simple vs complex), absence epilepsy, focal epilepsy, infantile spasms (West syndrome), Lennox‑Gastaut, myoclonic epilepsy, and status epilepticus (emergency).
