Hi williams..

by looking at your child history, it seems seizure disorder secondary to birth asphyxia (PVL - periventricular leukomalcia)

i need you to answer some of the following questions..
1. preterm or term delivery?
2.any problems during pregnancy?
3.what was the birth weight?
4. baby cried immediately after birth?
5.normal or caesarean delivery?
6. how is her developmental mile stones?
7. is there family history of seizure disorder?

your child requires EEG and MRI brain. your child requires one more anticonvulsant drug to be added. if her developmental milestones are appropriate, nothing much to worry about mental retardation.

kindly reply for above questions.

regards- Dr.surendra.H.S
