Summary
Epilepsy is one of the commonest neurological disorders. Some children with epilepsy have a known cause for their epilepsy; however in most cases the cause is unknown. One of the proposed causes is auto antibodies targeted against specific brain channels, resulting in seizures. This study will determine whether some patients with epilepsy have antibodies in the blood that lead to epilepsy. By defining an immune mediated epilepsy, we can treat and stop the epilepsy.
