Hi Dr Bacha,
My 1 yr old daugher also having this fits problem. It happened last Sunday [4 times a day, 9.30am, 1.30pm, 7.30pm and 10.15pm]. This was the first time it happened. We sent her for MRI and EEG. Below is the MRI findings :
There is slight atrophy of the left temporal lobe noted as evidence by prominent extra-axial fluid.
Normal cerebral gray-white differentiation.
Normal ventricles and cerebral suici.
There is no hydrocephalus or midline shift.
Normal flow void within the internal carotid artery, posterior circulation and Circle of Willis.
Both internal auditory meatues and posterior fassa appear normal.
Visible sinuses and both mastoid air-cells are normal.

Refer to the above comments posted on 11/26/2010, can I know whether the fits can be cured? Currently my 1 yr old daugher is taking dilantin [phenytoin] 125MG/5ML suspension. Any side effect for this med? Thanks.

My girlfriend had a seizure the other night (4am Thursday) it was frightening, she remembers standing infront of the bathroom sink and then when the paramedics were there, i thought she was going to die, it was very violent, she turned blue and was totally vacant, wide eyed (no blinking) and breathing loud and extremely forced breaths that made some kind of phlegm come out of her mouth with each breath, all i could do was put her in the recovery position despite crying like a baby, i had never seen anything like it.
She had recently drasticly changed her diet, she also has rheumatoid arthritis and had changed her painkillers the day before, are these possible causes?
The hospital checked her blood/blood pressure, urine, monitored her heart as her pulse was unusually high, and also checked her brain, nothing was found.
Absolutely any help will be appreciated, and they never asked her what i'm asking here.
I can't bear to see her go through it again, it has never happened in the 11 years we have been together.

This is exactly the same as me. i was getting ready to go out for a meal - felt this really wierd feeling then had a fit. i stopped breating too my boyfreind gave me chest compressions then the phlegm came out and i started breating again. he rang an ambulance and i was in hospital for a week. i cant remember any thing about the fit just the feeling i had before and the ambulance crew been there i had three that night. i also came to realise i had had one the the week before as i remember the feeling i was in bed watching tv then had that feeling when i woke some thing totally different was on. also had one a few days after coming out of hospital. six in total. as they went on each one got shorter. had all tests and they found nothing. put me on medication but it sent me crazy so took myself off it feel grat now and have not had another fit. I think it was stress after a really bad year. i also have been drinking more than usual so that could of contributed to it too.
