Hi
I have gone through the detail and it is a cse of refractory seizure.
EEG test can show false positive or false negative result.I would like to know was the MRI done with epilepsy proticol as standard MRI brain may also show no abnormality.
There is one modality called MRI with epilepsy protocol in which emphasis is given to find out the cause of epilepsy like mesial temporal epilepsy or cotical dysplasia.
These condition needs to be treated surgically if not controlled by medication.
I would like to add topiramate which is a very good medication particularly for refractory seizures.
Thanks and regards
