Petit Mal Seizure
A petit mal seizure, also known as an absence seizure, involves brief, sudden lapses in attention, commonly lasting about 15 seconds. Predominantly affecting children, this seizure type entails rapid blinking or staring into space. Unlike other seizures, a petit mal seizure does not cause convulsions, but can impact daily activities if untreated.
