Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it appears that she is suffering from severe anemia due to worm infestation. The another possibility is syncope but the white patches can not be explained on the basis of syncope. If her EEG and CT scan are normal than you need to proceed for routine blood tests like complete blood count.
