My son was diagnosed with Strep and had a gran mal seizure in 2009. He was 7 years old at the time, He has been on medication to control the seizures, but still has many breakthrough seizures. Will my son ever get his seizures under control? He also has many different types. Is there a way to know what his primary type is?
Hi, Seizures can be well controlled with treatment. Initial workup requires an MRI brain and EEG. This can help in identifying the type(s) of seizures. Medical treatment can control seizures in about 65% of patients. In the remaining patients, epilepsy surgery may help.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
