Elaine Wirrell, M.D., discusses epilepsy in children and treatment options for epilepsy and seizures in children. Dr. Wirrell answered questions at the end of the presentation.
I have a child who's seizures were very controlled during adolescence but as he is moving into puberty he is having exponentially more seizures. We are in the process of changing meds now. How common is this and is it likely that we can get it back under controll?
My daughter started having gran mal seizures at puberty and was diagnosed with catamenial seizures. Are these type of seizures treated the same as other seizures? Will she out grow these types.

for someone with intractable epilepsy what are some of the typical things that would make them a good candidate for surgery?
can you comment on the diagnosis of benign myoclonic epilepsy of infancy and its long term medical and behavioral prognosis
Wonderful information! Thank you Dr. Wirrel and Dr. Wetgen for doing this.
How can you diagnose benign rolandic vs benign myoclonic?

My daughter started having Gran Mal and PNES at puberty as well. How did they diagnose? Our doctors refuse to give an official diagnosis.
