What therapies might my child need in Aicardi syndrome?

Seizure treatments are an essential part of therapy. Your child’s seizures may occur several times a day and be difficult to treat. Care may include:

• Medications to control seizure activity. It may take more than one medication to achieve good results.
• Ketogenic diet, a high-fat, low carbohydrate eating plan that requires careful monitoring.
• Implantable devices, such as a vagus nerve stimulator, help regulate brain activity. This may be an option if medications are not successful.
