What Is An Absence Seizure? An absence seizure causes a short period of "blanking out" or staring into space. Like other kinds of seizures, they are caused by brief abnormal electrical activity in a person's brain.

What Does An Absence Seizure Look Like? • Usually 10-20 seconds long • Staring ahead, eye-fluttering, blinking, smacking the lips, repetitive hand movements. • Mistaken for daydreaming
