Absence seizures are brief seizures that cause a lapse in awareness. They typically start suddenly, without warning, and last a few seconds. They are common in children and are sometimes mistaken for daydreaming or not paying attention. Recovery is immediate. These seizures are also known by an older term, petit mal seizures. This name is no longer...
If your child experiences an absence seizure: 1. They may look like they are staring off into space or have a blank stare. Your child has temporarily lost awareness of what’s happening around them. 2. They may suddenly stop all activity — even in the middle of an activity — and will not respond during the seizure. This is especially notable during ...
Most seizures last between five seconds and 30 seconds, but they can last for a few minutes, although this is less common. The longer the seizure lasts, the more likely it’ll be noticed by others. Absence seizures may be frequent, 10 to more than 30 times a day. Some children can have hundreds of absence seizures a day.
Your child usually continues whatever they were doing before the seizure. They’re usually able to think clearly and are wide awake. However, if more than one seizure happens close together, your child may look or act confused and lose their place in what’s going on around them. For example, during the seizure, they may miss hearing instructions fro...
Although anyone can have absence seizures, they’re more common in children. They’re usually seen in children between 2 and 12 years of age, and most commonly occur in children of early elementary school age, between the ages of 5 and 7.
Absence seizures occur in about 5 people in every 100,000 of all ages, and in 6 to 8 in every 100,000 children younger than 15 years of age. About 10% of all childhood epilepsies and seizures are absence seizures.
There’s a high chance (up to75%) your child will grow out of absence seizures by adolescence. Children who have only absence seizures and not absence seizures combined with other seizure types have the best chance of outgrowing them.
The triggers for absence seizures are the same as for other types of epilepsy. Triggers include: 1. Lack of sleep. 2. Not taking medications as instructed by your healthcare provider. 3. Emotional stress, worry or excitement. 4. Breathing heavily 5. Sounds, flashing lights, bright sunlight. 6. Withdrawal from benzodiazepinesand other central nervou...
