How To Cure From The Jerky Movements Of Arms And Body?

Hi my daughter of 9 weeks have had a EEG last Friday and there was just one signal of abnormal brain activity. for the past week she has been having jerky movements of her arms and her body. Thayer seem to think it is partial seizure bit we won t know until we have the MRI. Could she grow out of this?

Hello,

I think the doctors are clear about the movements being seizures or not, the MRI is not needed to that but to see whether there is any visible brain lesion (from factors like infection, lack of oxygen, hemorrhage etc) in the brain which may be causing the seizures.

It is possible for seizures developed in children to improve or even disappear with time.

There is no exact formula to predict that, but the MRI is helpful if there are no such brain lesions chances of improvement are better if there is a visible brain lesion through the risk of her suffering from seizures in the future is higher.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
