Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder wherein brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes even loss of awareness. Epilepsy affects both males and females equally.

Seizure symptoms can vary widely. Some people with epilepsy simply stare blankly for a few seconds during a seizure, while others repeatedly twitch their arms or legs. At least two unprovoked seizures are generally required for an epilepsy diagnosis.

Symptoms of an Epilepsy:

Because epilepsy is caused by abnormal activity in the brain, seizures can affect any process that your brain coordinates. Some of the symptoms may include:

  • Temporary confusion
  • A staring spell
  • Movements of the arms and legs
  • Uncontrollable jerking
  • Loss of consciousness or awareness

In most cases, a person with epilepsy will tend to have the same type of seizure each time, so the symptoms will be similar from episode to episode. Doctors generally classify seizures as either focal or generalized.

Epilepsy Surgery

Epilepsy surgery is conducted to remove or alter an area of the brain where seizures happen. It is mostly preferred when seizures always occur in a single location, however, for epilepsy, surgery is never the first line of treatment and used only when other methods have failed

Frequently Asked Questions

What is epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a chronic and long-lasting medical condition that is marked by repeated epileptic seizures which are an event of altered brain function caused by abnormal or excessive electrical discharges from brain cells.

What causes Epilepsy?

Newly diagnosed epilepsy cases have no obvious cause in most of the cases and in some the more common reasons include stroke, congenital abnormalities, conditions a child is born with, brain tumors, trauma, and infection.

How is Epilepsy diagnosed?

To diagnose epilepsy, the type of seizure that one is having is determined to rule out the cause, since various seizure types respond best to specific treatments. The diagnosis is based on the medical history and a complete physical and neurological exam.

How is Epilepsy treated?

The majority of epileptic seizures are controlled with drug therapy coupled with anticonvulsant medications. Treatment depends upon several factors, including the type of epilepsy, the frequency, and severity of the seizures, the age of the patient as well as medical history.

What are the side effects of epilepsy medications?

Side effects of epilepsy drugs can include blurry or double vision, fatigue, sleepiness, low blood cell counts, liver problems, swelling of the gums, hair loss, weight gain, and tremor.
