Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent epileptic seizures. Up to 67% of children with epilepsy will have seizures controlled by anti-seizure medication or enter spontaneous remission. [1] Early control of seizures is associated with better developmental outcome [2], but many childhood epilepsies have a poor prognosis for seizure control. [3] Up to 35% of children will be refractory to standard anti-seizure medication [4] and continue to experience regular debilitating seizures.
