Engel 2001 Febrile Seizures Another change in terminology evident in this document is the omission of the words “convulsion” and “convulsive” in the list of epileptic seizure types and epilepsy syndromes. The Task Force thought that these are nonspecific lay terms, and at times improperly used. Consequently it was agreed to be consistent, not only in descriptive ictal terminology, but also in naming epileptic seizure types and syndromes, to avoid these terms. For instance, the Task Force is proposing that the term “febrile convulsions” be replaced by “febrile seizures.” ILAE 2010 Febrile Seizures
