Symptoms of Pediatric Epilepsy The symptoms of pediatric epilepsy are commonly characterized by grand mal seizures, absence seizures, and benign childhood epilepsy, among others. During a grand mal seizure, the child suddenly loses consciousness, pauses breathing, turns purple, dilates pupils, experiences rigid limbs, clenches fists, and then transitions to convulsive spasms, foaming at the mouth. The seizure typically lasts 1 to 5 minutes. In absence seizures, the child exhibits sudden loss of consciousness, interruption of movement, staring or upward rolling of the eyes, but does not fall or twitch. The seizure lasts for 1 to 10 seconds, and consciousness quickly returns to normal afterward.
