My daughter was diagnosed with abson seizures today due to an abnormal EEG. She is to start levetiracetam with a follow-up EEG in 1 month. Do these seizures diminish with age? Can they progress into more severe seizures? She shows no abnormalities other than 3 episodes of passing out which were thought to be syncopal events until the abnormal EEG.
Diagnosis of absence seizure is clinical history not abnormal EEG.absence seizure does not diminish with age defiantly as seizure can occur at any age. Progression cannot be predicted, but absence seizure is not life threatening. If you are taking levetiracetam than continue it and tell me the response of Chat Doctor.
