Hello doctor,
My son fell down at school recently due to fits. He is 12 years old, boy .We consulted a neurologist. He adviced to take MRI. We took MRI and it disclosed as left mesial temporal sclerosis. Hence I request you to give me an advice.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern and would explain that there is no reason to panic. There is no correlation between EEG and the MRI findings, as these MRI findings are suggestive of a birth defect in the brain which causes epilepsy seizures. His blood laboratory tests and cardiac ultrasound are unremarkable. He has had no seizures. So there is no need for medication or surgery. In my opinion this is an incidental finding, and all you can do is to repeat the MRI and EEG after a year.
