Jeavons syndrome or Eyelid myoclonia with absences (EMA), is a rare form of epilepsy that mostly occurs in children of 2 to 14 years and becomes their lifelong companion. Doctors misinterpret this with childhood absence seizures as the blank space staring effect of both are the same. The difference is that in EMA this effect lasts for 3 seconds while in the former it lasts for 15 seconds.
