What is a Seizure and Epilepsy?

A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. It can cause changes in behavior, movements, sensations, and consciousness. If an individual has two or more unprovoked seizures occurring at least 24 hours apart, they are diagnosed with epilepsy.

Types of Seizures

• Generalized Seizures: Affecting both sides of the brain (Tonic-Clonic, Absence, Myoclonic, Atonic).
• Focal Seizures: Originating in a specific region of the brain, with or without impaired awareness.

Common Symptoms

• Temporary confusion or staring spells
• Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs (convulsions)
• Loss of consciousness or awareness
• Sudden emotional symptoms such as fear, deja vu, or anxiety
• Post-seizure fatigue, headache, or disorientation (postictal state)

Diagnostic & Treatment Approach

With clinical expertise in over 1500+ stroke and epilepsy cases, Dr. Rajni Fulwariya utilizes advanced digital EEG (Electroencephalography) and neuroimaging (MRI Brain epilepsy protocol) to pinpoint seizure focus and design optimal antiepileptic drug (AED) regimens with minimal side effects.
