Seizures are brain malfunctions that alter a personâs awareness. During a seizure, the brain cells fire large bursts of energy, a departure from the normal on-and-off firing pattern. The seizure may last only a few seconds or minutes and trigger involuntary body movements, strange sensations or blackouts.
Absence seizures: Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. In absence seizures, also called petit mal seizures, a person loses awareness of their surroundings for up to 20 seconds. During an absence seizure, a child will suddenly stop what they are doing and appear to stare into space. Absence seizures are part of a group of epilepsy symptoms called generalised seizures and mostly affect children. Normally, the brain's nerve cells (neurons) communicate with one another by firing tiny electric signals, but with a seizure, these signals become abnormal.
