This hub covers pediatric epilepsy in infants, kids, and teens, including diagnosis, syndromes, development, school plans, and safety. New studies translated into clear takeaways for parents.
Usually when two appropriate medications haven’t controlled seizures.
Many families benefit and it depends on seizure frequency, medications, and learning needs.
Often yes, with smart precautions. Ask your neurologist or epileptologist about your child’s specific risks.
Clusters, prolonged seizures, breathing trouble, new weakness, or major regression.
Researchers studied how different parts of the brain work together during speech tasks, focusing on patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who were preparing for surgery.
This study looked at children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a condition that can cause growths in the brain and lead to epilepsy.
This study looked at how different teaching methods affect nursing students’ understanding and attitudes toward managing seizures in children.
Researchers studied the effectiveness of a new epilepsy marker called fast ripples (FRs) in predicting the success of epilepsy surgery.
Researchers studied two children with a rare type of epilepsy caused by changes in the WWOX gene.
This study looked at how epilepsy affects brain development in children aged 4 to 12 years who do not show clear signs of brain abnormalities on MRI scans.
This study looked at how children with epilepsy stop using the ketogenic diet therapy (KDT), which is a special diet that can help control seizures.
Researchers studied the use of magnetoencephalography (MEG) in evaluating epilepsy, focusing on its effectiveness in helping doctors locate the areas of the brain causing seizures.
This study looked at a specific brain imaging sign called the symmetrical claustrum sign (SCS) in children diagnosed with febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES).
