Early recognition and treatment of seizures is essential for optimal patient outcomes. Seizure activity, particularly in young children, can be subtle and often go unrecognized by providers. This case series retrospectively identified 7 cases of pediatric patients (14 years and younger) who presented to the emergency department with active seizure activity that was unrecognized by the prehospital care providers. The presentation of these patients, their clinical signs of seizure, and emergency department disposition are highlighted in this series.
