Seizure Remission and Antiepileptic Drug Discontinuation in Children with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Arch Neurol 60:1286-1289, Sparagana,S.P.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The proportion of children with TSC and epilepsy who achieve seizure remission is small. Nevertheless, some do attain seizure remission, and AEDs may be successfully discontinued. Mild cerebral involvement is a general clinical marker for seizure remission. The relapse rate in those who have undergone a trial of discontinuation of AED therapy is comparable with the rate in the general pediatric population with epilepsy.
