Will The Intelligence Of A Child Reduce As His Seizures Continue?
My grandson has been diagnosed with gray matter heterotopia and he switches between being a sweet boy to a very violent boy. He is very intellegent in most academic areas but seems delayed in social skills and fine motor skills. Will his intellegence reduce as his seizures continue and he gets older? what can we do for him to give him a quality of life.

Hello,
Consult a pediatric neurologist and get evaluated. Recurrent seizure might affect the growth and development of the kid. An MRI brain may be useful for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
