Hi, on Father's day weekend my 19 month old had a Febrile Seizure. After that we started noticing things were just "off" with him. We consulted our pediatricia who suggested we see a neurologit at our states pediatric hospital. After doing so we were told we needed and MRI and a Video EEG. The MRI was recently done and we got the results. I am so lost with these results because I have done research into his "issues" and feel so helplessly confused. All of teh research says my son should be way below average in his development and ever mentally disabled! Yet, he is thriving and about 6-9 months above average for his age! Here are his results, can anyone please help me? We do not have another appointment until Oct 1st and I will go nuts between now and then :)!!

Azygous Anterior Cerebral Artery
Pachygyria in BOTH frontal lobes
Thickened Corpus Callosum
with
Absence of Rostrum

Oh, he was just put on the generic form of Keppra too, is this ok? I need any help understanding these that I can get! Thank you all so much!!

I was just checking to see what you found out.  My daughter is 14 months old and had her first "febrile seizure" on Sept. 2nd.  She was taken to the ER just to be on the safe side, but sent home within 3 hours.  A week later we had an EEG and 4 days after they called and told us it was normal.  A little less than a week after that I found her in her crib having another seizure.  I called 911 because I was home by myself at the time and when paramedics arrived she was going into her 4th one and they would not stop.  Every time she looked like she was coming out, she would start another.  They pumped her full of meds in the ambulance and the ER staff put her in an induced coma because she would not stop seizing.  She woke up 9 hours later, after a CT Scan, MRI, and spinal tap.  They found she had viral meningitis, but could not say for sure that is what caused the seizures.  They put her on phenobarbetol to control any further seizure activity, we go back to the neurologist for another EEG next Tuesday.  I am VERY uneasy about the whole situation and just do not know what to think.  Any advice?  I have looked else where for a second opinion, but Children's Hospital in Omaha, NE is the ONLY place that employs neurologists that specialize in pediatrics.

I don't have an answer, and I hope you don't take this wrong. But my dog had a seizure a few weeks agao and the vet said it was most likely his thyroid ~ and it turned out to be. I have no idea if this would relate to a child. I just wanted to mention this to you. I hope he will be well. Bless you all.
