Epilepsy is a complicated neurological disorder. In seizure disorders, there are sudden bursts of electrical activities within the brain which cause unprovoked and recurrent epileptic seizures. Some occur with warning and some without. Though the seizures are brief, the experience can be quite scary for patients and the people around them. Although not usually fatal, epileptic seizures can impact movement, thinking, speech, muscle control, awareness, vision, and can cause injury.
Epilepsy can be generalized or localized. While generalized epilepsy patients improve with medications, patients with medication resistant and localized epilepsy might require surgery to optimally treat the disorder. It is critical to consult an expert Neurologist to pinpoint the exact type and source of your epilepsy disorder to receive proper treatment.
Before starting an epilepsy treatment program, correctly diagnosing the cause is important. Neurologists at the Michigan Neurology Associates & Pain Consultants conduct thorough neurological history and examinations to identify if other diagnostics may be necessary in order to generate as precise a diagnosis of epilepsy as medically possible.
These additional investigations might include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Functional MRI, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Electroencephalography (EEG), and continuous monitoring in an epilepsy unit.
Michigan Neurology Associates & Pain Consultants offers the availability of sleep deprived EEGs, 1-hour EEGs, and 24/48/72hour Ambulatory EEGs for further accurate capture of an epilepsy event unique to each patient.
The main goal of epilepsy treatment is to determine the best therapy for preventing seizures while minimizing possible side effects. The treatment options include behavioral, medical, surgical, dietary, or electro modulating methods.
Multiple kinds of seizure medications are available, this option controls seizures in approximately 70% of patients.
Diet therapy in conjunction with seizure medications can optimize control for some patients with epilepsy. Dietary treatments include a modified Adkins diet or a low-carbohydrate and high-fat ketogenic diet.
If medications cannot properly manage an epilepsy disorder, surgery might serve as curative or palliative option. Only an experienced Neurologist is properly trained to balance these complex issues.
