Expert care for patients with new-onset seizures, complex epilepsy syndromes, and drug-resistant epilepsy. Services include diagnosis with EEG, medication optimization, and long-term seizure control strategies.
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder marked by recurrent seizures—sudden surges of electrical activity in the brain. These episodes can vary in intensity and frequency, and may affect a person’s behavior, sensations, movements, or even consciousness.
While a single seizure may not indicate epilepsy, two or more unprovoked seizures typically confirm the diagnosis.
A seizure is a temporary disturbance of brain function due to abnormal electrical activity. It can cause a range of symptoms, from mild confusion or staring spells to full-body convulsions.
🔹 Focal (Partial) Seizures:
Originate in one part of the brain. May cause twitching, changes in sensation, or loss of awareness.
🔹 Generalized Seizures:
Involve both sides of the brain and may lead to muscle stiffness, jerking movements, loss of consciousness, or sudden falls.
🔹 Absence Seizures (Petit Mal):
Brief periods of “blanking out” or staring into space, common in children.
🔹 Tonic-Clonic Seizures (Grand Mal):
Involve body stiffening, shaking, and loss of consciousness. These are often what people typically associate with epilepsy.
