A member asked:

How can i have only one absent seizure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but...: During an absence seizure the person is not aware that theseizure has occurred. Therefore unless someone witnesses the spell, and do not have a loss of postural tojne, you might not be aware of otherepisodes like your first.
