Infantile Epilepsy Guidelines

ON THIS PAGE

|

These infantile epilepsy guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations to support clinicians in the early identification, diagnosis, and management of epilepsy in infants. Developed by experts in neurology and neonatal care, the guidelines synthesize current research and clinical best practices to improve patient outcomes during a critical period of neurological development. Resources on this page include the full guideline publication, clinical algorithms, and additional tools designed to support real-world clinical decision-making.

Early Intervention & Evolving Evidence: New Guidelines in Infantile Epilepsy

May 28, 2026 | 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET

The management of infantile epilepsy continues to evolve rapidly, driven by advances in diagnostics, genetics, and targeted therapies. This webinar will provide a focused review of newly published infantile epilepsy management guidelines, with emphasis on medication, surgical, and dietary treatment strategies. Expert faculty will highlight key updates, including the evidence supporting specific therapies and guidance on when to refer patients to a specialized epilepsy center. Through clinically relevant discussion, attendees will learn how to incorporate these guidelines into real-world decision-making, optimize early intervention, and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes. Designed for pediatric neurologists, dietitians, pediatricians, and neurosurgeons, this session will also address ongoing controversies, implementation challenges, and future directions in infantile epilepsy care.
