What is CAE?

Childhood Absence Epilepsy (CAE), also known as Petit Mal or epilepsy with "staring spells", is one of the most common forms of epilepsy in children.

Finding the Cause

The cause of CAE is unknown, however CAE runs in families. We believe the best way to find the cause is to study families with a child affected by CAE.
