Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The described seizure in the question is characteristic of an absence seizure, which is also known as a petit mal seizure. This type of seizure can last for a few seconds to half a minute and is usually characterized by a blank stare or a vacant look, unresponsiveness, and stereotypical behaviors such as lip-smacking, blinking or eyelid fluttering. Psychomotor seizures involve complex behaviors such as walking, running or undressing, while Jacksonian seizures involve muscle twitching that starts in one part of the body and spreads to other parts. Tonic-clonic seizures involve rhythmic muscle contractions and loss of consciousness.
