A member asked:

Might epilepsy go away and come back later?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. A V answered

Epilepsy: It's possible to have a seizure and not be diagnosed with epilepsy, such as after head trauma. Some childhood/adolescent epilepsies may decrease in frequency over time but typically they do not go away unless there has been an intervention, such as surgery.
