Frontal Lobe Seizures and P.A.N.D.A.S.

Wed, 01/28/2004 - 14:16
My 2 year old son has been having seizures that occur mostly before he falls asleep or he is awakened 4-6 hours into sleep. They have also occurred briefly during the day; when he is in a relaxed state. The seizures that occur during the night are repetitive and can last up to an hour or so. While he experiences these seizures daily at home, it took 3 overnight eegs before some registered on the eeg and we are now told that they are frontal lobe seizures. We have been told that there is a connection between his seizures and P.A.N.D.A.S. as a result of having strep throat about 6months ago. Does anyone have any experience with P.A.N.D.A.S.- Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder and a correlation with frontal lobe seizures?

Hi I as well have had a misdiagnosed child. She just had her first seizure at 18 a few days ago. We believe she has Focal Onset aware seizures multiple times a day. We just got referred to UBC neuroscience in Vancouver BC.
