Pediatric Epilepsy
Children can be affected with many types of seizures. A child may have one or more types of seizures, with symptoms causing changes in awareness, muscle tone, emotions, behaviour and sensory experience.
The most effective treatment strategy for your child starts with an accurate diagnosis, which may involve:
Complete seizure history
Comprehensive neurological examination
Electroencephalogram (EEG), including outpatient video – EEG monitoring and long-term video – EEG monitoring
Physical and occupational therapy
Neuroimaging: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), positron emission tomography (PET)
Speech and auditory processing evaluations
Counselling and support services
