An unusual presentation of absence seizure in a boy in the form of “throttling sensation”
has been described. He has responded well to valporate after confirming the diagnosis
by electroencephalogram. This is to emphasis the pediatricians about the importance
of referral to neurologists for appropriate diagnosis if they encounter such atypical
symptoms among their patients.
