What Are Symptoms Of Silent Seizures In A Child?
my 3 year old daughter (turns 3 in august) when she sits, she sits right at the edge of the chair and will sit more on the right but cheek, bring both arms over to the right, and will kick out her left leg to the side. The left leg will then start to shake. Sometimes it will be a little shake and others it will be a lot. What could this possibly be? I ve heard it could be silent seizures but I don t want to jump to conclusions.

thanx for the query. regarding your childs movements , they do not really fir into any specific type of seizures. and regarding abscence(silent) seizures they are characterized by sudden vacant stare stare for a few seconds followed by normalization and the person does not realize that something has gone wrong. rest assured dont worry about your daughter
