My son aged 25 is having seizures. His birth was difficult and there was a lump in his head. Once it was crashed then started the problem. Seizure, i.e. tongue biting and hands & leg stripness occured. No other type of seizure. That too only during nights. 2 or 3 episodes only. He is under medication for a long time and doctors have itold that if seizues does not occur within 4 -5 years then it won't occur. Is is true. But he is continuing treatement. Divuna-ER, Dicorate 500 he is taking.

Venki, The stupidity of some doctors is ridiculous and never ceases to amaze me. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE can predict if or when a seizure will occur. I suppose the possibility of not having seizures as time passes may increase the probability of them not returning however if medication is controlling the seizures over that period of time then all bets are off. There is never any guarantee. If your son had a normal Neurological exam, normal EEG, and MRI and is not on any anti-seizure medications during those 4-5 years perhaps his chances are higher he may not have more seizures. Never assume they are gone forever. I’ve seen seizures return after 25-45 years later. Another thing to remember is once you stop medication the possibility does exist seizures can return more severe and frequent.
