Hello
MRI Brain suggests normal findings.In large number of epileptic patients,investigation reports like MRI,CT scan and EEG are normal.
If there is no structural abnormality then patient may only need anti-epileptic medicines.
Patient need to take anti-epileptic medicines regularly.This helps in keeping long remission.
