The CASE
A 7 yo child is brought in by ambulance after having tonic clonic seizures that morning. The whole family had been travelling for a holiday. Her mother tried to wake her in the morning, but she was not responding much, so left her sleep a little longer. Approximately one hour later she was found to be having a tonic clonic seizure. The Ambulance were called.
The child has no past medical history although her siblings have had recent viral symptoms. Paramedics have treated with 5 mg midazolam IM and the tonic-clonic component of the seizure appears to have settled.
