مريض عنده نوبات غياب قصيرة يحدق فيها ثوانٍ ثم يكمل كلامه. أي معلومة صحيحة عن هذا النوع؟

A child has brief absence episodes, staring for seconds then carrying on talking. Which statement about this type is correct?

1. It needs immediate CPR
2. Common in children; may occur many times daily
3. It is mostly caused by low blood sugar
4. Each episode causes a fall and limb jerking

Answer: B) Common in children; may occur many times daily. Absence seizures are very brief without falls and can occur dozens of times daily, often mistaken for daydreaming or inattention. EEG confirms them.
