epilepsy is just a term used to categorize people who have recurrent seizures. seizures are diagnosed clinically or by EEG. sometimes the cause of seizures can be seen on ct scan but most times it cannot. in the case of someone with an abnormal brain such as Down syndrome their brains have a higher chance of seizures and are unlikely to need a ct scan to diagnose another cause. eplim is a treatment for both epilepsy and aggression so he is being treated correctly. you should consult with them further to discuss further treatment goals and possibilities
