Just to give a background really quick.
I'm new the the forum. My son started having seizures 3 weeks ago when he had a grand mal in school during PE. My son is 9. This was his first 'noticible' seizure. A year ago, I'd suspected seizures because of 'spacing out' episodes that felt 'off' to me. I took him into a dr. and he blew it off as dehydration but to watch him.
Since 3 weeks ago, my son has had 2 grand mals seizures (both in PE at school), several partial, an EEG that was determined to be abnormal, and just yesterday had a seizure DURING his MRI scan. I am not sure which kind it would have been considered, but, I suspect he was having them throughout the entire scan.
This is all very scary and overwhelming. I'm not sure what this all means. Can they detect the seizure he had during the MRI, AND would that make his results be abnormal? The Dr. told me if his MRI came back clean that he has an 80% chance of growing out of these? Does this mean it most likely with NOT come back normal?
I've also read the most with epilepsy do have normal MRI scans. Is this true?
