seizures and EEG--- question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

A week or so ago, someone posted that their child had a grand mal

seizure but that the EEG came back ok. I'm sorry-- I can't remember

who it was, but I'd like to get some more information from you.

What did the neurologist say about the EEG coming back clear? I guess

it was a little more clear cut for you because it was a grand mal

seizure, not a petit mal /absence seizure.

I'm curious because my son (Asperger's, 15) has apparently been having

absence seizures for years. Or at least, they certainly look like

absence seizures--- eyes rolling back in head, spacing out, etc. But

he had an

EEG at UCLA recently and it came back fine. The neurologist was

pleasant but dismissive because of the EEG. This leaves me asking

what to do---- should I wait a few months and go back to the

neurologist if the eye rolling continues? Or should I just assume

that he is not truly having seizures, or that they are too minor for

medication.

If anyone has any thoughts on this, I would appreciate the input.

Thank you!
