Overview & Clinical Pathology
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent, unprovoked electrical disturbances in the brain (seizures). Seizures can range from brief staring spells or localized twitching to generalized tonic-clonic convulsions with loss of consciousness.
• Key Causes & Risk Factors
When to See a Neurologist?
- First-ever seizure episode or loss of consciousness
- Breakthrough seizures despite anti-seizure medication
- Unexplained episodes of staring, confusion, or sudden jerking
Evidence-Based Treatment Approach
Precise seizure classification, tailored Anti-Seizure Medications (ASMs), video-EEG and neuro-imaging workup, trigger counseling, and multi-disciplinary pre-surgical evaluation for drug-resistant (refractory) epilepsy.
Prevention & Long-Term Management
- Strict 100% adherence to prescribed anti-seizure medication timing
- Avoid sleep deprivation and excessive physical exhaustion
- Avoid alcohol triggers and manage fever promptly
