Apollo Adlux Hospital provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for childhood epilepsy and seizure disorders, including focal seizures, generalised seizures, absence seizures, infantile spasms, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome.

Diagnostic assessment may include EEG, prolonged video EEG monitoring, MRI, genetic testing and metabolic investigations. Treatment is personalised according to the child’s seizure type, age, development and underlying cause. Children with drug-resistant epilepsy may require advanced epilepsy evaluation and consultation for dietary therapy, neuromodulation or epilepsy surgery.

Febrile seizures: are convulsions associated with fever and commonly occur in children between six months and five years of age. Most febrile seizures are brief; however, recurrent, prolonged, complex or atypical seizures require paediatric neurological evaluation.

The paediatric neurology team assesses the child’s medical history, seizure pattern and developmental progress to differentiate febrile seizures from epilepsy, neurological infections and other seizure disorders. Parents also receive guidance regarding seizure first aid, fever management and warning signs requiring emergency care.
