Patient's question:
Hello, my relative's child is about eight or nine months old. When the child was three months old, they went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said the child's forehead was a bit small. This year, they went to hospitals in Hangzhou and Shanghai for comprehensive examinations, and the doctors said the child has cerebellar malformation and epilepsy. It is congenital. Is there still hope for treatment?!Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic disease. If not well-controlled, it can last for several years, or even decades. For this reason, many epilepsy patients hold a pessimistic attitude towards whether the disease can be cured. It must be pointed out that the prognosis for most epilepsy is relatively good. Of course, there are also a few cases of epilepsy that are difficult to control and have an unsatisfactory prognosis. Epilepsy patients should maintain an optimistic attitude, build confidence in overcoming the disease, and must persist in long-term treatment. They should continue medication for a longer period before stopping.
