Seizure Disorder
 
Usually, this state exists for just a few moments before everything appears to return back to normal. Epilepsy may involve non-specific symptoms and/or signs that may occur along with the seizures, including headache, changes in mood or energy level, dizziness, fainting, confusion or memory loss.

Generalized - Absence seizures (also known as petit mal) have these characteristics:
  • they last a few seconds
  • there may be a staring spell and/or eye blinking
  • the sufferer may appear to be day dreaming
The diagnosis of epilepsy and/or seizure disorder involves noting down a careful history of seizure activity. A physical examination, including a detailed neuromuscular examination, may be normal or may show localized abnormalities of brain function. Serum carnitine levels should be monitored in children treated with antiepileptic drugs.
