HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, in my opinion it is better to get done the CT of brain, if she has not episode of any convulsion then it is too early to say about epilepsy and even early to start the "Carbamazepine" in absence of seizure, some time with history of seizure and suspected case of grand mal epilepsy CT brain can be done, hope this information helps, take care.
