My daughter has been diagnosed with bilateral mild hippocampal atrophy with mesial temporal sclerosis. Is this condition treatable, and what impact does it have? She is currently having seizures and is on Epilive 250 Tablet three times daily and Lobazam 5 Tablet once a day. Will she be able to live a normal life, or will she require long-term parental care?
Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) causes irreversible damage and shrinkage of the hippocampus in the brain, making it an incurable condition. However, the seizures associated with it can often be effectively managed with appropriate anti-seizure medications or, in certain cases, epilepsy surgery. MTS is a common cause of focal seizures and may occasionally affect memory and learning. With good seizure control, most patients can lead normal, independent lives. Long-term parental care is usually unnecessary unless the seizures are poorly controlled or pose safety concerns.
