Hello...I am new to this site...my son may have petite mal seizures....since finding out that this may be true, we have been noticing a few things recently....the one I have that is most standing out is Vomiting....when sleeping he has been...for over a 2 months...waking at night and vomitting...he has gone days....to weeks without vomitting....attributed to a stomach bug the first few times..but tonight...I began to wonder if he is possibly vomitting following a seizure....the doctor said that he could be having multiple ones while sleeping. Has anyone every heard of this....my net search has been rendered useless! Thanks Mom to one cool 7 year old and one 8 month old diva!

recently there was a show--MYSTERY DIAGNOSIS which had a child who woke up coughed and vomited every night. It was determined she was having seizures. I do not remember the neurologist's name / city but maybe if you check the show's web site you can locate it. My son usually vomits with seizures too.

Oh my God. I know that episode. i have been trying to find it online to watch, if possible.

My daughter stopped vomiting after a week. I'm not sure what went on there.

I would like to know more about that episode though.

Hi This is called Abdominal Seizures. Sometimes with simple partials, vomiting can occur too.
