What type(s) of sz would this be?
Fri, 07/21/2006 - 13:31Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
My neice has just had what seemed to be a type of seizure. She is 3-1/2. And we are awaiting tests to be done(But they take so long to get).
She was in her car seat when it happened. Not quite sure what order this happened in but she urinated, vomitted, her eyes either rolled up or to the side, and her both arms flung upwards. This all happened in a minute or so. She was very lethargic & pale after and also vomitted a few times after(up to 7 hrs after).
This is her second seizure, but the first wasn't as severe.
This sounds like quite a few types:
Abdominal, simple/complex partial, etc.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks.
