Introduction: Seizure is the most common neurological illness in pediatric population, and its risk is highest in the first year of life. A comprehensive study regarding etiology, clinical profile is required, hence the current study was undertaken. The objective of this work was to study the etiology, clinical profile Objective: le of seizures in children aged less than 18 years. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study of children with seizure was conducted at Neurology outpatient department, and references from pediatrics department. All children with seizures were included. Biochemical and haematological investigations, imaging, and electroencephalogram were performed whenever necessary. Simple descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data in the form of frequencies with percentages as applicable. Out of 65 Pediatric patients who presente Results: d with seizures were Febrile seizure – Simple 4.6% (3) ,Atypical 29.2% (19),Fever precipitated seizure 32.3% (21), Seizure disorder with developmental delay 20% (13),Unprovoked 6.1% (4),others (5) Seizure was the commonest neurological condition of children presenting to neurology Conclusion: OPD and referred from pediatrics. Fever precipitated seizure being the commonest etiology. The prognosis and outcomes were good but there were prolonged days of hospitalization. Children with unprovoked seizures require brain-imaging studies for better understanding of seizure etiology
