Guest guest Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi all! We are just getting home after a 2 hr visit at a neurosurgeon (a friend of ours recommended him, not that we want to have our child go through neuro-surgery!). After looking at our son's medical history, which includes all possible medical tests including MRI and 25 EEGs, he said it is sooo obvious that the child has epileptic activity. He wants us to have a new MRI and EEG done, (last MRI is from 4 yrs ago, last EEG from 1 yr ago) to confirm his suspicion of sub-clinical seizures. Has someone had a child treated in this aspect? With good/bad results? I am very surprised because 10 different specialists had seen the same papers he saw today and not a single one mentioned epilepsy as a possibility. So l have the feeling this might mean something. This guy is a multi " laureate " MD and l wouldn't like to discard his point of view so easily. Can someone relate? He did believe a chronic infection could have lead to encephalitis, which then unleashed epileptic behavior in his brain.... Comments VERY welcome! Thank you to all!
