Question
My wife (21 years old) had high fever before 5 months. It was diagnosed as Typhoid fever. During this high fever, she threw fits (that was the first seizure in her life). Took CT and MRI scan, they found inactive calcification in her brain that triggered the seizure attack. My question is, are there any chances of getting another attack in future because of the inactive calcification. I respect your valuable inputs. Thanks in advance. A loving husband.
Answer
An EEG would be useful to know if she is prone to seizures. If EEG is abnormal, one may need to give her antiepileptics for at least 2 years till last seizure. If EEG is normal, antiepileptics may be given for 3 months. You must consult an adult physician as we are a child health related website. Back to All Questions
