Spitting as a seizure manifestation is described in an autistic child

with a mild expression of epilepsy.

Spitting became a predominant automatism of in seizure manifestation.

In contrast to most cases in the literature, the epileptic discharges

were localized in the left temporal lobe, an uncommon side to cause spitting

seizures.

By increasing the dose of carbamazepine, spitting behaviour

disappeared.

Hello all,

My son spits occasionally for no particular reason and has done so recently.

He also is chewing on plastic and paper. Could this be some kind of seizure

disorder as well? I always assumed that this behavior was a manifestation of

increased yeast levels but after reading this info I'm thinking differently.

Have any of you used carbamazepine and has it been helpful? What is it?

Thanks for sharing. Trina

This is also known as Tegretol. Some of you may be more familiar with this

name. Trina
