Milana needs a genetic analysis to make an accurate diagnosis and select a treatment

Milana, a beautiful girl, is 15 years old. Since her birth, her family has faced great challenges: one after another, she was diagnosed with conditions such as congenital cardiomyopathy, delayed psychomotor development, organic lesion of the central nervous system, and cerebral palsy. All of these are consequences of a difficult birth and hypoxia.

At 11 months old, Milana exhibited epileptic activity in her brain, leading to a new diagnosis: symptomatic generalized epilepsy.

Since 2013, Milasha has been following the Doman method. Daily sessions over three years brought significant results: she learned to crawl and sit. At age 6, Milana began to walk with support.

Specialists believe that Milana will be able to learn to speak. However, at present, her speech consists only of syllables. She understands familiar addresses and responds to them.

In 2020, her epileptic seizures returned and have since become more frequent. This has led to a regression of the skills Milana had worked so hard to achieve. She is currently being prescribed anticonvulsant medications.

Doctors suspect a genetic nature to her illness and have recommended whole genome sequencing. This will help identify the cause of her epilepsy, select the right treatment, and eliminate the seizures.
