Description

When it comes to childhood epilepsy, no two seizures are exactly alike. Some seizures have the convulsive, jerking movements that most people think of when they imagine epilepsy. But other types of seizures can be subtler, and even possible to miss altogether.

On this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk to Dr. Anthony Fine, a pediatric neurologist and epileptologist, to help us make sense of this very complicated condition.
