What Causes Seizure With Unconsciousness And Jerky Limbs?
My 16 year old niece had a seizure 2 weeks ago. Witness advised that she has fainted and that her arms an legs were jerking. this apparently did not las t long. She was immediately hospitalised, EEG, CT & MRI scans were done. EEG was good, and MRI showed a shadow on the brain. She does not have a history of any illness, no symptoms, never had a headache. For a month she was on Roaccutane tablets for severe case of pimples. Could you please advise what could be the problem

Hello,
In such case is necessary to clarify the "shadow on the MRI". For this is necessary to have a brain MRI with contrast enhancement and vascular protocol. Discuss with the Neurologist for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
