What Causes Blank Stares And Vomiting During Sleep In A Child?

Hi Dr. My grand daugther of 5 years of age had vomit last night and continued to sleep. Her mother woke up and realized the little on vomit but continued to sleep. When she got her up, the little one didn t even know she vomit. She seem tired. When her mother bath her she placed her back in bed and she the little one went right to sleep. Should we be concern? I m concern that she may be having some kind of sizures. We had discussed that my grand daughter give us some blank stares with out blinking for a few minutes. I thought she was just ignoring me when I would speak to her because she was upset with me, but her mother also has experienced the same stare as in a daydream. Should we be concern?

Hi..
You may be right. This could be a type of seizure...Especially Absence seizures or Complex partial seizures. I suggest you take an EEG after consulting your pediatrician and further proceed as need be.
