  • Title: 'Phantom' typical absences, absence status and experiential phenomena.
    Author: Ferner RE, Panayiotopoulos CP.
    Journal: Seizure; 1993 Sep; 2(3):253-6. PubMed ID: 8162390.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of mild typical absences (phantom absences) culminating in absence status and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. The patient has recorded his experience during an episode of absence status and provides a rare insight into a mind temporarily clouded by whirling thoughts and muffled responses. This case is important as it demonstrates the pitfalls which may hinder the diagnosis of this unusual condition.
