Electroconvulsive Therapy for Treatment of Intractable Seizures, Initial Findings in Two Children Neurol 49:1389-1392, Greisemer,D.A.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed 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.
