Clear EEG?

Sun, 07/05/2015 - 01:19

Hi My son started having seizures when he turned 4?  But every EEG given came back clear...he is now 9 and to date they have not caught a seizure on any EEG is this common?  His seizures are almost exclusively at night, and only happened during the daytime when he was not medicated.  Has anyone ever heard of this or can anyone give insight into why these are happening?  The Doctors have been great but they seem to be guessing since they cant see what is going on...He is on Trileptal and I am worried that this medication is now exhibiting sleeping problems for him...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
