Absence Seizure In Toddler with preview total 17+ Pics. Someone having an absence seizure may look like he or she is staring blankly into space for a few seconds. However, about 10% of children may develop other seizure types later in life.
Absence seizures almost always start between ages 4 to 12. Absence seizures most commonly affect children from 5 to 9 years old. When the seizure ends, the child is immediately alert.
However, they can be easy to miss and go undiagnosed for a long time.
Some people have absence seizures for many months or years before it's recognized as a problem. People with epilepsy may identify triggers that increase chance of seizure. But absence or staring seizures may go unnoticed for years. As with typical absence seizures, the main symptom is the disconnect from the child's surroundings.
