Grow out of seizures???

Sun, 05/21/2006 - 21:52
Hey, have you other parents out there heard that your child could grow out of their seizure disorder? My Zakry has idiopathic epi, so does that mean that he should be able to grow out of it? We are running one more metabolic test, but that's just to be safe (we thought he had MSUD). Has anyone else heard this? Has anyone else had an experience where someone "grew out of it?" Just looking for the positive!

We were told the same thing. My son just started having the seizures in Nov. of 2011. His MRI, EEG, CT scan and blood work all came back normal. He has been on Keppra since Feb. 1st.
