Unfortunately, : Unfortunately, this episode is also consistent with a "staring spell" or absence seizure. With the frequency of the seizures that you describe your daughter will most likely need to be started on a mediation. An eeg is a very sensitive test but does not always show epileptiform activity in between seizures. I would probably start your daughter on an anti-seizure medication to help prevent seizure activity.

Further testing: It is possible for people to have a normal eeg bust still have seizures. Another option for testing would be to do a long term video eeg, in which your child will get hooked up to eeg for several hours or up to a few days to try to capture one of her spells. That way the episodes can get analyzed in detail and the best course of therapy can be discussed.
