Patient's question:
My nephew's epilepsy has been fluctuating, and he is not doing well with his studies or tutoring. He is also frequently daydreaming. Can the child undergo surgery for treatment? What kind of help is needed: Can the child undergo surgery for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described and the information about your purchase, you have pediatric epilepsy. In most cases, pediatric epilepsy can be cured. Depending on the individual condition, after using appropriate medications, about 60-70% of cases can be well-controlled, with no recurrence in the future, and medication can be gradually reduced or stopped. For a small portion of patients, if drug treatment is not effective, they may develop refractory epilepsy. However, surgery can help a large majority of these cases achieve remission. Only a very small number of patients may find relief through palliative surgery. Truly intractable or completely incurable epilepsy is still very rare, and the majority of cases can achieve remission. Therefore, pediatric epilepsy can be cured in most cases. The above is my advice on the question "Can children undergo surgery for treatment?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
