Texas Children’s
First seizure clinic
The First Seizure Clinic at Texas
Children’s Hospital sees patients who have recently experienced an initial
unprovoked seizure.
Many children who experience a first seizure may never experience a second
seizure. However, a seizure may be the initial presentation of a more
serious medical condition or subsequent epilepsy.
When evaluating patients who have recently experienced a first seizure, our
providers will try to determine a cause for the seizure and develop an
appropriate therapy.
A typical First Seizure Clinic evaluation consists of taking a patient's
medical history, conducting physical and neurological examinations, and
ordering electroencephalogram (EEG) and neuroimaging studies.
Treatment options may include the prescription of anticonvulsant therapy.
The First Seizure Clinic is held weekly and is located within the
Blue Bird
Circle for Pediatric Neurology.
