Signs & Symptoms of Epilepsy

Common signs of epilepsy in children include recurrent seizures, staring spells, sudden stiffening or jerking of the body, temporary confusion, and loss of awareness. Some children experience absence seizures that can be mistaken for daydreaming. Any unprovoked seizure warrants prompt neurological evaluation.

Diagnosis

MRI may be recommended to look for structural causes. Dr. Tamara Zach MD interprets all studies personally and discusses findings clearly with families.
