Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Your daughter is suffering from epilepsy, and MRI findings of agyria pachygyria represents the cause of her seizures.

Epilepsy can not be cured, however, it can be controlled with medications. Your daughter are on good medications. Please discuss with your doctor regarding increasing the dose of current medications or adding any new drug.

In some cases, where medications fail to control seizures, surgery may be useful in controlling the seizures.

Best wishes,
