Abstract and Introduction
Introduction
First described in the early 1700s, absence seizures have been referred to over the years as petits accès, petit mal, epilepsia minor, and pyknolepsy.[1] Typically thought of as a type of childhood seizure disorder, absence seizures also may present in older populations or as a component of multiple other epileptic disorders.
