Hi doctor,
My kid has a developmental delay. He is missing his milestones. He is 1 year 10 months. He does not walk or kneel or speak yet. His TMS and GC-MS reports showed negative. We started Levi Pil syrup (Levetiracetam) based on the attached EEG report.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
- Regarding the prescription of Levetiracetam, it is completely right as there is evidence of absence seizures indicated by EEG (electroencephalogram).
- Regarding developmental delay, there is a need for MRI brain. As mentioned by examining doctor, there is regression after one year of normal development in milestones, which cannot be considered normal.
- The child needs extensive evaluation including brain MRI for proper diagnosis and management.
For further information consult a neurologist online -->https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/neurologist
Thanks for follow up.
I will request you to visit NIMHANS Bangalore for further evaluation. In case it is far away the next option is CMC vellore followed by JIPMER.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks again.
