Abstract

Sinisa Franjic

Epilepsy has always carried a negative stigma so it is extremely important for a child with epilepsy to overcome the fear of repetition of convulsions and continue living like their peers. After the first cerebral attack, parents have a huge fear of repeating the same, so it is extremely important to contact a doctor immediately. Complete treatment should be performed during hospitalization, especially in cases of head trauma or prolonged loss of consciousness. The treatment consists of electroencephalography, hematological-biochemical tests, additional specific treatment according to the anamnesis and psychological treatment. After two or more unprovoked seizures with a pathological finding of electroencephalography, a diagnosis of epilepsy is made and then it is necessary to educate parents and the child about living with this disease.
