Will Pediatric Benign Epilepsy Heal on Its Own Without Treatment?

Question

Can pediatric benign epilepsy be left untreated?

Answer

Although most cases of pediatric benign epilepsy will resolve on their own, research shows that children who are not treated may experience learning difficulties. Some doctors believe that if the frequency of seizures is low, treatment may not be necessary, but this does not mean that treatment is completely unnecessary.
