ABSTRACT
FIRE Syndrome stands for Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome, it is a rare condition causing epileptic encephalopathy with a known febrile infection precedes the onset of epilepsy, but without any identified cause of infectious encephalitis. Management of the syndrome poses a challenge with less success and paucity of precise guidelines. Physiotherapy intervention which forms part of multi-disciplinary management, focuses to improve the lung function of patient, maintaining joint mobility and improving muscle function and functional capacity. We present a case of 12-year-old male diagnosed with FIRE Syndrome, showing the impact of physiotherapy intervention in collaboration with medical management which outlines the scope of multi-disciplinary treatment in this rare syndrome.
