Abstract

The children of age group 6 months to 12 years with refractory seizures were evaluated with the standard questionnaire, data pertaining to the refractory epilepsy were extracted from the medical records of the patients and analyzed. The patients with idiopathic type of seizures with normal phenotype as well as with dysmorphism were sent for karyotyping to know the association of ring chromosome and inversion chromosome with refractoriness From this study, the risk factors identified should be evaluated properly a treated appropriately. Early identification helps the parents to be counseled about the need for continuation of the drugs, associated co-morbid conditions and risk involved in recurrent seizures. The parents should be appraised of the child’s condition and help in improving the quality of life.
