Daughter - 12 yrs old has had several (5-10 in last 3 weeks) of almost glazed look on face with uncontrolled smile for 10-20 seconds. She describes it as spacing out but can t control her face. Sometimes her eyes will tear up as she is in the midst of an episode
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your daughters symptoms, and they are suggestive of complex partial seizures. She should undergo a detailed evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and find out the underlying cause. This would require doing an MRI brain-epilepsy protocol and electroencephalography (EEG). There are good anti-epileptic medications, which can control these events' kin future. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
