seizures

My son had his first seizure at 4 months. We took to the er and they thought febril seizure but he had no temp. He had and EEG done and it came back normal. About a month later he arms get stiff and he starts shivering. It happens about 1-5 times a day. He also stares off about twice a week.  They think it is seizures. He went for another EEG and it came back normal. He has no developmental abnormalities. He was born by emerg c-section due to distress. Do all seizures show up on EEGs? If it is not seizures, what are other causes of this?

[EEgtech]

As a tech who sees this type of behavior in children daily I would suggest long term monitoring with either an ambulatory EEg or a monitored, (video) in patient EEg. Many patients come in and have a routine EEg performed, these usually lasts 30-40 minutes, it is quite common for the results to come back with no visible abnormalities. There is a reason for your childs symptoms. Get a good neurologist and be sure your EEg tech is a registered technologist, it will be worth your time in reseach.  Another suggestion is seeing an epileptologist if you can locate one, even if your child does not have epilepsy you can be sure your neurologist knows how to read the EEg.
