Objective: Febrile seizures are the most widely recognized kind of seizures saw in the pediatric age bunch There are various theories about synapses and follow component, (for example, zinc) changes in serum, which can have a job in pathogenesis of febrile spasm.

Aim: The point of the present forthcoming , case‐control study was to decide if there was any adjustments in serum zinc level in youngsters with febrile spasm during seizure and febrile patients without seizures.

Methods: Kids matured a half year to 5 years were isolated into two gatherings: bunch A, 100 youngsters with febrile spasm, and gathering B, 100 febrile kids without seizures.

Serum zinc levels for the two gatherings were assessed by nuclear retention spectrophotometry(AAS). The information were examined to analyze zinc level among the two gatherings utilizing proper factual instruments utilizing SPSS 13.

Findings: Serum zinc levels of groups A, and B had a mean value of 64.92mg/l, 81.03 mg/l respectively. Serum zinc level of group A was lower than the other group (P<0.0001).

Conclusion: The serum zinc levels are diminished in kids with febrile seizure spasms, in this way demonstrating zinc hardship assumes a noteworthy job in pathogenesis of febrile spasms.
