Helen A2 - Arzimanoglou, Alexis PY - 2017 T2 - Pediatric Epilepsy AB - The aim of epilepsy treatment is cessation of seizures without side effects. In the course of treating the child, the family should be informed, based on their level of medical sophistication, about choices of treatment and options for dealing with the condition and its consequences. Both seizures and therapies carry risks and optimal patient care requires thoughtful balancing of these risks and benefits. To provide the best care, the physician must be aware of the available options and individualize them to the needs of the specific child (see Chapter 2).
