Seizures and seizure mimics are common in children. There are different types of seizures such as full body convulsive which are easy to identify, but absence/staring or brief body jerking or stiffening seizures can be easily missed. Seizure mimics, such as syncope, migraine, tics, panic attacks, and psychogenic non-epileptic events, have different etiologies and are not seizures. This chapter will discuss how to approach a student with seizures in school and the management of seizures and seizure mimics.

摘要

Seizures and seizure mimics are common in children. There are different types of seizures such as full body convulsive which are easy to identify, but absence/staring or brief body jerking or stiffening seizures can be easily missed. Seizure mimics, such as syncope, migraine, tics, panic attacks, and psychogenic non-epileptic events, have different etiologies and are not seizures. This chapter will discuss how to approach a student with seizures in school and the management of seizures and seizure mimics.
