Abstract
The article describes a clinical case of severe childhood epileptic syndrome, FIRES (DESC) syndrome, which is a form of epileptic encephalopathy in school-age children caused by hyperthermia. The emergence of this severe childhood condition leads to involvement of all diagnostic and human resources available at a pediatric critical care clinic to identify and treat this form of epileptic paroxysm. The described clinical case also had a severe course with a prolonged epileptic status, which was resistant to antiepileptic pharmacotherapy, and hyperthermia. The presented case is a modest contribution to the treasury of information about this syndrome in our country, with the aim to increase the doctors’ awareness of the problem.
