(1)Jerrod Hamilton is an active 7-year-old boy. Shortly before his seventh birthday, he had a small seizure. When he was out playing with his dad and his dog, his right arm twitched a ittle.In the following days, he had another couple of seizures. During those seizures, he stared blankly, and for a minute or two could not respond to his parents.
(2)Jerrod's parents took him to their pediatrician, Dr.Madeline Sierra. "I'd like to order several tests including an EEG and MRI scan. These tests are painless and noninvasive.Starting today,I also suggest that you keep record of Jerrod's illness. Include his symptoms, tests, information from doctors, any treatments or therapies. Document everything. I will help you, but ultimately, you and Jerrod are the ones who will have to make the decisions." Jerrod's tests were done right away.
(3)Jerrod's symptoms were escalating. He had daily seizures,and they included disorientation as well as uncontrollable repetitive movements on the right side of his body. He often felt tired and weak after the seizures. Dr. Serra said," There isnothing to indicate a brain tumor.I am more confident that we are dealing with a form of epilepsy, which is probably very treatable. However, given the rapid change in Jerrod's symptoms, I would like to refer you to a specialist in neurological disorders."
(4)Dr.Sierra's referral sent Jerrod and his parents to Dr.Benjamin Singh,a neurologist who specialized in seizure disorders.He said, "Based on these tests and some other indications, I believe Jerrod's seizures are what we call' partial' seizures. This means that they only involve part of the brain. Let's start with a seizure medication."
(5)Dr. Singh prescribed medication to help treat Jerrod's disorder. The first medication did not succeed. Doctors tried another. After some time and other combinations of medications, it became clear that this type of treatment would not work well.
(6)As Jerrod's brain is starting to be damaged by the seizures, Dr. Singh went on to describe another type of more drastic treatment. "The upper part of the brain, the cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres. In Jerrod's case, his seizure activity is located primarily in the left hemisphere of his brain. Sometimes, we can control seizure activity by removing the portion of the brain which is suffering. It can lead to a signifcantly better quality of life for the patient. This may be our best option."
