Question

What is pediatric epilepsy? Is this condition serious? Will it be difficult to treat? Can it affect the child’s future growth and development?

Answer

Pediatric epilepsy, also known as epilepsy, is characterized by seizures and should be distinguished from tic disorders. It is recommended to undergo detailed examinations such as MRI of the brain and electroencephalogram to confirm the diagnosis. Following confirmation, antiepileptic medication treatment is required, during which the child’s intelligence may be affected.
