Patient's question:
Two-week high fever with convulsions, later suddenly unconscious at four weeks and seven months. Had an MRI at Beijing Children's Hospital, which was normal. Can this prove it's not epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition:Hello, the situation you described cannot confirm that the child is not having a seizure. Additional tests that need to be conducted include electroencephalogram (EEG), brain topography, functional EEG, and ambulatory EEG, among others. If the seizure is typical with loss of consciousness, even if all tests are normal, it can still be epilepsy.
Guidelines:
Please follow my instructions for further testing, as it may provide evidence to confirm or rule out the condition. If it is epilepsy, please start treatment immediately. If it is not, you can rest assured.
