Abstract:
:Epilepsy is a common childhood neurological morbidity needs careful evaluation, relevant investigations and precise therapy with appropriate antiepileptic drugs for optimal duration. Majority of childhood epilepsy remits with antiepileptic drugs and should be managed in the community. Practising pediatricians must counsel the family for possible etiology of epilepsy, compliance during treatment and possible outcome. It is important to distinguish pseudo seizures and nonepileptic events from true epilepsy, as this would reduce the burden of unwanted medication. It is also equally important to enable ourselves to recognize early predictors of intractability and refer them to appropriate referral units. Epilepsy is a social and an economic burden for the family. Preventive strategies by improved perinatal care, prevention and managemnt of neuro infections and infestations which will mitigate epilepsy burden in the community are essential. In this context it is important to familarize appropriate and relevant use of investigations. Inappropriate antiepileptic drug usage is common in the community and drug therapy should be rationalized. Epilepsy management requires a close interaction between the patient, family and the treating physician and a concerted effort is essential.
