Is facial drooping with seizures possible?

Is facial drooping with seizures possible?

PLEASE HELP! My mother was diagnosed with seizures a couple of years ago. Odd to me that before being diagnosed I never witnessed these seizures. After being diagnosed and put on seizure meds she has full tonic clonic seizures at times. At times she has facial droopings with the seizures making it look like TIA's. All tests (EEG, CT, MRI's) have been negative. While she was on Depakote the seizures were still not controlled. Almost feel as if these are not seizures and something serious is wrong but the docs are unable to diagnose her.  She has seen many neurologists and MD's for her condition. Any suggestions or advice? Please offer some good insight. I am a nurse so I am familiar with all that is going on.      Thanks!!!

I have the same situation.  When did they start?  In my case, I think they are TIAs and small strokes that don't show up on scans.  Does she have brain injury or has she had a stroke before?
