I heard someone saying yeah repeatedly in the background, it's most likely the little one saying no with his head. I've seen it many times before. But I would always say to Mums, if you're not sure, get it checked. I personally wouldn't be worried. I've worked with children with seizures & it seems unlikely that this is a seizure. Just seen the comment above this saying the little lad now has seizures. While I'm sorry he does, I'm not convinced this was one. I just hope he improves.
He is having a seizure he looks like he's actually having a simple partial followed by a myocolonic. It looks alot like my son's Infantile spasm. What ever happened with him?
@jenchutch Thanks for asking. I have a blog for him at lovejoelr.blogspot.com. He is five now. He has Tuberous Sclerosis and is having seizures. He is developmentally delayed, but is a sweet loving boy. You can read his story at the blog.
well if you're so sure it can be a partial seizure, then why did you post this in the first place? you're asking for people's opinions and im giving you mine. no need to be rude.
@chaimaintenance4 They didn't post it, I did. He is having seizures now. Still not sure if this was one, but I posted it so I could send the link to his dr to look at.
yes that is a partial seizure even at that age i had my one first when I was 4 years old best thing do is get a flashing check the pupils if there pen pointed he is having a seizure that how my family checks when i coming out my partial complex seizures
definitely not. i myself have epilepsy and partial seizures usually involve something smaller, not the entire upper body. usually a partial seizure involves something like the hand or lips twitching, but thats just an example. seizures dont look like that at all, trust me. it looks sketchy, though.
@chaimaintenance4 excuse me at this age they can I know cause it over 28 years for mine to be diagnose and Im 32 years.I told by teachers doing get noticed in class or a class clown and then saying these just sounds like them.
my son harvey has tuberous sclerosis and suffers from epielpsy and infantile spasms. lately he has started shaking his head back and forth and his body then seems to go stiff and his whole body sort of trembles. its sort of like what joel is doing on this video.
I recognize this, it reminds me of something... although it looks like a siezure its totaly different ... physician claimed its def not a Seizure of the norm. You have complete awareness , it feels like your brain goes on turbo on what your thinking about at that moment like exzaming a subject with intense focus stripping the data for all outcomes and solutions in a split second.
weve always called it focus ticks around the house and seems to me heritary. Did find a solution for it.. and its just not leagal. its quite bizzare and even though it looks like it could interfere in a task, however your brain is on top of it and its even possible to drive for 11 hours straight get to the end of the trip and go how the hell did i do that in a split second or give you the ability to avoid an unavoidable accident leaving your car the only one around you undamaged,quite weird.
i hope this is what he has and not the other types ... Not that i would like to see any1 have a problem just that its the lesser of all and can give you some skill advantages if the occastional weirdness of it can be overlooked.
This idea is very interesting. Joel has Tuberous Sclerosis which causes seizures. Although he no longer has seizures thanks to surgery, some doctors think he may have a tick due to some other behaviors he has. So it's interesting to hear more about that type of tick. I'll have to look into it...and wait until he can talk to tell me what he's feeling.
Looks like a complex partial sz to me. I see that this post has been 1 yr ago. Do you have answers now? You said that he had surgery to stop sz that he was previously having. What type were those? Tonic-clonic, I assume. I would visit a neurologist rather than a pediatrician b/c the neuro will know a lot more than the pedi.
@TrailRatedNurse We do see several neurologists, one at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego and one at UCLA. He is having seizures again. The surgery stopped them for about two years. Thanks for asking.
I would show this to your family physician or email it to professors @ a medical school that teaches neurologists, for an opinion. I ignored simple signs, and my daughter had her first full seizure last July. It is better to be prepared or to at least assure yourself. It may be nothing, but please let your doctor review this video.
It does look like a seizure. The shaking the head before hand is something my son used to do. It was irritation caused by the seizures.
Also, for those commenting do not say with 100% confidence that this is not a seizure. You could sway someone not to look any further and delay proper care.
..a baby shaking their head that much can cause pinched nerves in the neck or improper blood flow in the brain..or both..looks like he was shaking his head no no no no and the movement may have simly made him dizzy..or may have caused a dilated vessel/artery to get pinched off..causing lightheadedness or unconsciousness..next time he starts that head motion SOP HIM!..if he doesn't seem to "seize"..then it's probably just self induced dizziness..
I'm not good with all the different names of the seizures but it definetly looked like a seizure to me... use this video to show your doctor (if you haven't already)

Yeah, it's a seizure. They do weird things with their eyes, like they just look in random places. Especially how he rolls his eyes near the end.

I would agree, it looks like a seizure. Most like a head drop- or also called an atonic seizure.
