Child just had Right Temporal Lobectomy/right side
Wed, 09/09/2009 - 14:17Hello out there
My son, 7, had a right temporal lobectomy 2 weeks ago...the day after surgery he had 4 seizures in 2 hrs. They looked the same as before (complex partial). The doctors were very concerned that they didnt "take enough out". since then, he has not had any. But, he has had auras and seems to be eating non-stop. anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

Hello,
I don't really have advice since I am so new to epilepsy for my son as well. However, I do have a question. How long did your child have seizures and how many meds was he taking prior to deciding on surgery? Just wondering for my son's left temporal lobe complex partial seizures that are very much uncontrolled and daily.
