8. Seizures

Up to 80 percent of Rett Syndrome sufferers experience seizures during their lifetime, often experienced during sleep, sometimes continuously, or at times of low activity or rest. Other seizures take the form of non-epileptic paroxysmal events. Linked to breathing abnormalities, these appear to be seizures with erratic movements, breath holding, and sleep/wake transitions. Anti-seizure medications can control seizures in Rett Syndrome patients, but there are no clinical trials for these meds.
