Pediatric Epilepsy: Identifying & Treating Different Seizure Types

Nearly one-third of the population newly diagnosed with epilepsy each year is children. More specifically, 45,000 children under the age of 15 develop epilepsy each year. Classification of seizure disorders has evolved considerably over time and many new treatment options have become available in recent years. For the majority of patients, seizures can be adequately controlled without unendurable side effects. This program will examine issues and considerations related to identifying seizure types and managing epilepsy in pediatric patients. CME Credit hour: 1.0
