Boy age 7 is on dilantin and topomax which is not helping much. doctors are suggesting surgery, tried several other drugs and did not help. He is not eating good and is very thin. 3 to 4 petit mal seizures per day which look more like post tramatic stress disorder.

See an epileptologist, get a thorough work-up. A pateint conference needs to be held to determine the need and possible benefit from surgery.
Surgery can help depending on the clinical profile, MRI data and video EEG info.

Please see the webpages for more details on Petit mal and Hydantoin (generic name) and Dilantin (brand name). Consult the neurologist.
