I’m sorry you have been going through this for so long Marivett! My son was diagnosed very quickly – he had a clean EEG (just the short-term one) but the neurologist said his symptoms were classic for complex partial seizures so started him on medication. The medication started to work and so that was pretty much the end of the diagnostic stage for him. Have you received the results from the 72-hr EEG yet?

Hi I have a daughter of the age of 6 and she has been having this kind of seizures since she was 2. It scared me so much the first time she had a episode, I didnt know what was going on. She has had a EEG test done on her a C.A.T. scan and also a 24 hr EEG. They have yet to diognosed her with anything because nothing ever shows up. At this moment she has a EEG machine strapped to her for 72 hrs hoping to catch one. The list of symptoms that she has are: smacking of the mouth; shaking of arms and legs; not being responsive; blank stare also fast eye blinking; and recently not being able to hold herself up; not being aware of what happened; sometimes she does it in the middle of the night and just goes back to sleep. She has also had them during the day and then go back to whatever she was doing. Its been a while since we started trying to diagnose what is happening with her and from the research I’ve done point to complex partial seizures. I know that the doctors that she is going to are good doctors but I feel since she has had a new symptom come up recently I want them to figure out what is going on with her soon before it gets worse. I was wondering if you could tell me how they diagnosed your son how long it took and if you have any advice the information would comfort me and may help in the end.

[...] I recently read of a study about childhood-onset complex partial seizures and the autism spectrum. Although the topic of autism and seizures interests me greatly, this one really caught my eye as my son has been diagnosed with complex partial seizures. [...]
