Epilepsy
Department of Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a complex and often misunderstood neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. This comprehensive guide explores various aspects of epilepsy, including its types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, risk factors, and addresses frequently asked questions about the condition.
Types
1.Temporal Lobectomy: Removal of a portion of the temporal lobe, often effective for temporal lobe epilepsy.
2.Hemispherectomy: Removal or disconnection of a cerebral hemisphere, usually reserved for severe cases in children.
3.Corpus Callosotomy: Severing the corpus callosum to prevent the spread of seizures between brain hemispheres.
Diagnosis
1.Electroencephalogram (EEG): Monitoring electrical activity in the brain helps identify abnormal patterns associated with epilepsy.
2.MRI and CT Scans: Imaging studies can reveal structural abnormalities or lesions in the brain that may contribute to seizures.
3.Clinical History: Detailed evaluation of the patient’s seizure history, triggers, and associated symptoms.
Treatment
1.Antiepileptic Medications: Initial treatment involves medications to control seizures. If medications are ineffective, surgery may be considered.
2.Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS): Implantation of a device that stimulates the vagus nerve to reduce seizure frequency.
3.Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS): Implanting a device that monitors brain activity and delivers stimulation to interrupt seizures.
