Brief Answer:
Epilepsy prognosis

Detailed Answer:
Hello Shrikant, thank you for attaching reports.

I went through all papers. I found two EEG report and treatment details of the patient. MRI brain report is not mentioned in it.

Based on these reports and treatment, it can be said that she is having refractory epilepsy syndrome. Usually it needs lifelong antiepileptic treatment. Only few cases (less than 30%) can go into remission.

Please let me know if you have more doubts. Thanks
