What Causes The Body To Go Stiff & Unresponsive?

My 6 month old daughter has a small patch of aplasia cutis on the top back of her head. she is an otherwise normal healthy baby.Yesterday she had an episode in which she threw out her arms, rolled back her eyes, went bluey/purple and was stiff and unresponsive. this lasted for approx 15 seconds, I did call an ambulance and when they arrived she was fine, no temp, alert etc. She did however then sleep for some time. Is it possible that this could have anything to do with the ACC? or just coincidental? Thank you

Aplasia cutis may be associated with some anomalies in the brain , which I would not like to highlight at this stage. An MRI brain must be done to rule out any underlying pathology.
