Epilepsy & Seizures (Fits)
Comprehensive evaluation and management of childhood epilepsies - from first seizure to complex, drug-resistant cases.
“Epilepsy is a condition in which a child has repeated, unprovoked seizures (fits) caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. At Dr. Rampally's Child Neuro Care in Kurnool we evaluate every child with video EEG, identify the seizure type and syndrome, and build a personalised, evidence-based treatment plan - most children become seizure-free with the right medication and follow-up.”

Frequently Asked Questions
My child had one seizure. Does that mean epilepsy?
Not always. One unprovoked seizure does not automatically mean epilepsy. We evaluate with EEG and, if needed, MRI to estimate the risk of recurrence before starting medication.
Will my child have to take medicine for life?
Most children can safely come off medication after being seizure-free for 2 - 3 years, depending on the epilepsy syndrome and EEG findings.
Are video EEGs available locally?
Yes - we perform routine and extended video EEG in-centre in Kurnool, so families do not need to travel to a metro city for diagnosis.
