Epilepsy in Childhood

  • It affects children at different ages and in different ways.
  • Early recognition and treatment are keys to the best possible outcome.
  • For some, it will be a temporary problem, easily controlled with medication, outgrown after a few years.
  • For others, it may be a lifelong challenge affecting many areas of life.
  • It may be associated with serious, difficult-to-treat syndromes, including Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, genetically related conditions and developmental disorders.
  • Social impact in childhood is often severe, producing isolation and loss of self esteem.
