My little girl is on Topamax for seizures at the maximum dosage for her weight; however, she is still having jerks, so her neurologist wants to do a day lab on her in which she has an extended EEG for several hours because he's not sure that what she is having are seizures. What else could this be?

I've been informed that shunt problems can cause seizures to occur. I asked when I suddenly had an increase in episodes. I usually only have one to three a seizures a year. Sometimes if I'm lucky none at all, but one year I had three a day for a couple of weeks, so I went to my neurologist, and he told me my shunt had stopped draining the excess spinal fluid off my brain, and that was causing the dramatic increase in episodes. I hope this helps. Have a great night, and fourth of July.

Well, the seven-hour EEG showed that the jerks she's having are not seizures, so she is going to have an MRI on her spine to see if she has a pinched nerve or something.
