🩺 What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can vary from brief lapses of attention or muscle jerks to severe convulsions and loss of consciousness. Proper diagnosis and timely treatment can help control seizures and greatly improve patient well-being and safety.
🧾 Types of Epilepsy We Manage
- Focal Seizures
Seizures originating in one part of the brain, sometimes with altered awareness or unusual sensations. Early identification and targeted treatment are essential. - Generalized Seizures
Affect both sides of the brain from the start, including tonic-clonic (convulsions), absence seizures (brief lapses), myoclonic, and atonic seizures. - Status Epilepticus
A prolonged seizure lasting more than 5 minutes or repeated seizures without recovery. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention. - Epilepsy Syndromes
Specific epilepsy types with characteristic seizure patterns, EEG findings, and treatment needs.
⏳ Recognizing Seizure Symptoms – When to Seek Help
- Sudden, uncontrolled jerking movements or stiffness
- Loss of consciousness or responsiveness
- Repetitive movements or staring spells
- Confusion, fear, or unusual sensations before a seizure
- Seizures lasting more than 5 minutes or recurring quickly
If you or a loved one experiences these, consult our neurology team promptly.
