Absence seizures are one of several kinds of seizures. These seizures are sometimes referred to as petit mal seizures, which is an older term.

In absence seizures, the person may appear to be staring into space with or without jerking or twitching movements of the eye muscles. These periods last for seconds, or even tens of seconds. Those experiencing absence seizures sometimes move from one location to another without any purpose.
