Symptoms Of A Nevus Sebaceous

Seizures

Patients who have linear nevus sebaceous syndrome often experience seizures as another symptom. Most individuals with seizures also have hemimegalencephaly, and this brain malformation is partially responsible for the symptom. However, even those without an abnormally large brain hemisphere can have a seizure problem. A seizure occurs whenever there is an electrical disturbance in the brain, so symptoms vary. It can sometimes result in full body spasms, but in some cases, patients may just lose consciousness, blink rapidly, or freeze for a moment. Individuals with a nevus sebaceous can have more than one seizure type, so it is possible for some seizures to go unnoticed. A seizure can be very dangerous, so it is important for individuals to seek medical help if they have a nevus sebaceous and start to experience any kind of seizure.
