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 a genetic condition called PPP2R1A-related neurodevelopmental disorders, which can lead to developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, and brain malformations.
Researchers studied how well single-item global rating scales (SIGRs) and multi-item scales (MISs) work in epilepsy research.
This study looked at 843 children in Brazil who were born with microcephaly related to Zika virus infection.
Researchers studied sleep patterns in people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a severe form of epilepsy that affects development and causes multiple types of seizures.
Researchers studied two specific types of epilepsy syndromes called New-Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus (NORSE) and Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome (FIRES) in children.
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.
