Description

Epilepsy and seizure disorders can affect people of all ages. Seizures may occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain and can have different causes and patterns. Neurological evaluation may help determine the type and possible cause of seizures. Depending on the clinical condition, assessment may include neurological examination, blood investigations, EEG, brain imaging and other appropriate tests. Treatment is individualized according to the type, frequency and underlying cause of seizures, with the goal of achieving good seizure control and supporting quality of life.
