What Are the Treatments for Epilepsy in Children?
According to the Epilepsy Foundation, about 300,000 children in the United States have been diagnosed with epilepsy. For some of these children, epilepsy is a temporary condition which they will outgrow as they get older, while for others it is a lifelong condition. Before determining which treatment is appropriate for a given child, doctors typically evaluate the child using visual or videotaped observation and scans such as electroencephalogram, EEG, or magnetic resonance imaging, MRI.
