Hi Sir
Treatment of epilepsy depends upon type and cause of seizures.We need to do MRI Brain in epilepsy protocol along with EEG/VEEG to know type and cause of seizures.In about 40% patients exact cause is not identified inspite of available investigation,in these cases we need to continue antiepileptic medications till 3yrs of seizure free interval.
