Article Abstract
We treated two children with intractable epilepsy with electroconvulsive therapy(ECT)for seizure control.One child showed a change in seizure pattern with treatment,which at greater intensity was also effective in stopping nonconvulsive status epilepticus.The other child showed a decrease in spontaneous seizure frequency during short term treatment. These findings suggest a possible role for ECT in management of intractable epilepsy in children who are not candidates for epileptic surgery.
