While at school, a 6-year-old boy is noted by his teacher to experience 10- to 20-second lapses in consciousness, sometimes with twitches in the eyelids and clonic movements in the face. Electroencephalography shows 3 per second generalized spike and wave discharges. The most likely diagnosis is :

• Complex Partial Seizure

• Juvenile Myoclnic Epilepsy

• Childhood Absence Epilepsy

• Tics disorders

A previously healthy and developmentally normal 18-month-old boy presents with status epilepticus. There is no past or family history of seizures. The child is stabilized, and the seizure stopped . Subsequent physical examination reveals a playful child who has a temperature of 39.2ºC and nasal discharge. Findings on the remainder of the examination are normal. The MOST likely diagnosis is

• Bacterial meningitis

• Cortical dysplasia

• Febrile seizure

• Hypoglycemia

An otherwise healthy 11 months old girl has had several episodes in which she becomes cyanotic and loses consciousness after crying. She is brought to ER 1 hour after an episode.
