Understanding

What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. It affects over 50 million people worldwide, making it one of the most common neurological conditions. While epilepsy can develop at any age, it often begins in childhood or after age 60.

At our clinic, we understand that living with epilepsy affects every aspect of your life—from daily activities to personal relationships. Our comprehensive approach focuses not just on controlling seizures, but on improving your overall quality of life through evidence-based treatments and compassionate care.

Types of Seizures

Understanding the different types of seizures is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment. Seizures are categorized based on where they begin in the brain.

Focal Onset Seizures

Begin in one area of the brain. May cause changes in sensation, emotions, or movements while the person remains conscious (focal aware) or may cause loss of awareness (focal impaired awareness).

Motor Non-Motor

Generalized Onset Seizures

Affect both sides of the brain simultaneously from the start. These include absence seizures (brief loss of awareness), tonic seizures (muscle stiffening), and clonic seizures (rhythmic jerking).

Tonic-Clonic Absence

Unknown Onset Seizures

When the beginning of a seizure cannot be determined as focal or generalized. Further testing and monitoring may be needed to classify the seizure type accurately.

Unclassified Diagnostic

When to Seek Emergency Care

Call emergency services immediately if:

Seizure lasts more than 5 minutes
Second seizure follows immediately
Person doesn't breathe normally after

How We Diagnose Epilepsy

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. Our comprehensive diagnostic approach combines clinical evaluation with advanced technology to identify the type and cause of your seizures.

1

Clinical Assessment

Detailed review of your medical history, seizure description, family history, and physical examination to understand your symptoms.

  • Medical history review
  • Seizure description
  • Physical examination
2

EEG Monitoring

Electroencephalogram (EEG) records brain electrical activity to identify seizure patterns and determine the seizure focus.

  • Standard EEG
  • Video EEG monitoring
  • Ambulatory EEG
3

Advanced Imaging

MRI and CT scans to identify structural abnormalities, tumors, or brain lesions that may be causing seizures.

  • High-resolution MRI
  • Functional MRI
  • PET scans
4

Lab Tests

Blood tests and other laboratory investigations to rule out metabolic causes and identify any underlying conditions.

  • Blood panel
  • Metabolic screening
  • Genetic testing

Every patient's journey with epilepsy is unique. We offer a range of evidence-based treatments tailored to your specific condition, seizure type, and lifestyle needs.

Anti-Seizure Medications (ASM)

First-line treatment for most patients

Anti-seizure medications are the most common treatment for epilepsy. We carefully select and adjust medications based on your seizure type, age, other health conditions, and potential side effects.

  • Over 20 FDA-approved medications available
  • Personalized medication selection
  • Regular monitoring and dose adjustment
  • Side effect management

Dietary Therapies

Metabolic approaches to seizure control

Dietary modifications can be highly effective, especially for children and patients who don't respond well to medications. We offer guidance on specialized diets tailored to your needs.

  • Ketogenic diet programs
  • Modified Atkins diet
  • Low glycemic index treatment
  • Nutritional counseling

Surgical Interventions

For drug-resistant epilepsy

When medications don't control seizures, surgical options may be considered. We evaluate candidates thoroughly to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

  • Resective surgery
  • Laser ablation
  • Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
  • Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS)

Lifestyle & Support
