What Caused Episode Of Unresponsiveness,convulsions And Shakes?
My 22 year daughter has never had a seizure before but last night she was unresponsive ...eyes wide open...unable to wake her up...and her upper body was shaking/convulsing and she had difficulty catching her breath. She awoke after about 20 minutes, felt fine (other than a headache) and had no idea what happened. She seemed fine before this and was under some stress but nothing out of the ordinary. Do you know what could have caused this?

Seizures in patients in the age group of your daughter can occur due to the following.
1. Arteriovenous malformation hemorrhage
2. Neurocysticercosis
3. Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage
4. Brain tumour
5. Cavernoma bleed
6. Grey matter heterotropia
7. Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
8. Trauma
She needs to be investigated.
