Seizure disorders can affect children with known developmental delays. It can usually be traced back to abnormal electrical activity in the brain due to malformations, oxygen deprivation at birth or other brain anomalies. Medications for controlling siezures can reduce the abnormal electrical impulses interrupting normal brain function. It is very important to take the medication consistently.

The test was conclusive for seizure activity and your son was likely started on anti seizure medicine. Please clarify with his pediatrician at next follow up appointment current treatment and goals.
