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.
This study looked at childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), a common type of epilepsy that affects children, particularly those in school.
Researchers studied how different parts of the brain communicate in patients with epilepsy, focusing on the areas where seizures start, known as the seizure onset zone (SOZ).
Researchers studied Angelman syndrome (AS), a rare genetic disorder that affects about 1 in 15,000 children.
This study looked at children with generalized tonic seizures (GTS) who underwent two types of surgeries: corpus callosotomy (CC) and focal surgery (FS).
This study looked at the quality of life (QoL) for children with two different conditions: idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) and epilepsy combined with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
This study looked at how young people with epilepsy and their parents view their quality of life after different treatments: surgery or medical therapy.
This study looked at children with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) who had surgery to stop their seizures.
This study focused on understanding lissencephaly (LIS), a brain condition that affects how the brain develops and can lead to serious developmental issues.
This study looked at the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children with epilepsy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
