Epilepsy is abnormal electrical propagation following a disorder between nerve cells in the brain. Epilepsy is frequently seen in children and adults.
There are many different types of epilepsy. In diagnosing epilepsy, it is very important to define which epilepsy it is. Epilepsy should be evaluated separately in children and adults.
Epilepsy begins in childhood and is more common in older ages. Resistant epilepsies have led doctors dealing with epilepsies to conduct many researches and studies for many years.
Epileptic Seizures Can Be Prevented
First of all, experienced epilepsy and surgery centers were established for patients with resistant epilepsy. After these teams work together, it is determined which type of epilepsy will be treated with medication or which type of epilepsy seizures will be operated on. After the studies of experienced epilepsy medical teams decide that the epileptic seizure is unresponsive to medication, appropriate screening tests are performed.
After the medical tests and clinical examinations, a decision is made on brain surgery. In addition, before epilepsy surgery, diseases that mimic epilepsy (psychogenic, vitamin deficiencies, muscle diseases, etc.) should be identified in the preoperative period.
