Эпилепсия. Лечение и диагностика эпилепсии.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurring attacks of involuntary seizures, impaired consciousness, speech, and response to external stimuli. Symptoms Epilepsy is caused by excessive neural discharges in the cerebral cortex. Specific signs of the disease and the location of seizures vary depending on the specific area of ​​the brain affected. A seizure may affect only one arm or leg, but other neurological symptoms are also common, including dizziness, disorientation, and impaired consciousness. Despite the variability of these or other manifestations and their individual nature, specialists identify certain signs common to most cases of epileptic seizures: the occurrence of severe seizures, and in more severe cases, convulsions, which can lead to serious bodily injury: fractures, joint dislocations, traumatic brain injury, etc.; Excessive salivation, urinary incontinence; deterioration in general well-being – fatigue, lethargy, inability to work, headaches most often localized in the temporal or frontal region; decreased sleep quality and emotional state – insomnia, anxiety, nervous agitation. During an attack, the patient may fall to the floor. Diagnosis Diagnostic procedures for epileptic seizures include: blood tests, including genetic analysis, which can detect chromosomal abnormalities; urinalysis to rule out renal failure, which imposes certain limitations on the patient's examination and treatment methods; EEG to determine the area of ​​the brain where excessive electrical impulses originate; CT and MRI to visualize structural features of the brain, including the presence of possible tumors and cysts; cardiovascular examinations to rule out pathological changes in cardiac function, which may contraindicate the use of certain medications. Treatment Most forms of epilepsy respond effectively to medication. In 70-75% of cases, sustained remission is achieved with medication alone. Successful treatment requires individualized medication and dosage selection by a qualified specialist, as well as strict adherence to all recommendations. ------------------------------------------------- Mirth Medical Center is a private, fee-based clinic providing patients with diagnostic and treatment services in over 30 medical fields in accordance with all modern Russian and international standards.
