Childhood absence epilepsy diagnosis revolves around identifying symptoms and categorizing the epilepsy type based on those symptoms. Diagnostic methods and techniques for childhood absence epilepsy include electroencephalogram (EEG)/video telemetry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scans), and blood tests. In electroencephalogram (EEG)/video telemetry, electrical signals from brain are recorded in a computer by asking the patient to hyperventilate for 3 to 5 minutes, which triggers an absence seizure. The EEG then shows spikes and wave discharges at 3 Hz (cycles per second) that are generalized in nature (similar on both sides of the brain). Structural causes behind epilepsy can be understood with the help of MRI scans (as some patients suffering from epilepsy due to brain damage can be found by a MRI scan). Blood tests may be required to diagnose any medical conditions, which may be the reason behind epilepsy.
