 I am Dr. Kishore, Neurologist and Epileptologist, today I will be speaking about how to assess and treat patients with epilepsy. So usually when they come to us, patients may be having recurrent seizures with or without loss of consciousness or falls, you know, and we will have a detailed discussion about, you know, what were the clinical manifestations before the onset of seizures, that is, you know, what, you know, the subjective phenomenon which they could feel and what was observed by an eyewitness and if there is any video recording of the event, we will go through it and we will have a fair idea, you know, about the localization of the epilepsy. In which we will subject them to EEG, that is electroencephalogram, it is electrical activity of the brain and there we get clues whether it is a focal epilepsy or generalized epilepsy and then we will go for imaging modality, that is MRI brain, which will give us clues whether there are any structural issues in the brain based on our assessment, you know, we will start them on medication. Seventy to seventy-five percent of them will be, will get controlled with a single medicine and usually twenty-five to thirty percent of them, seizures will not stop with, you know, two or three medicines and then they will, they will be considered as medically refractive epilepsy.
