epilepsy

Is there any evidence that certain seizure types (partial-complex, in my daughter's case) linked with different degrees of microcephaly ( 3rd percentile), may lead to intractable seizures? I am worried because we've been through 3 different seizure meds in the last two months, and Anna (5 yr.) is still seizing in her sleep.

I am not familiar with any correlation of the sort you describe, but this is not my area of specialty so I may well not be abreast of all the pertinent research. Perhaps the Neurology Forum could offer you a more informed perspective.
