Patient: cramps, foaming, biting tongue, six years ago Took medication, still have recurrence. Want to treat epilepsy completely! Chen Guofang, Department of Neurology: Your description of “cramps, foaming, biting tongue”, please ask: Have you had frequent seizures for 6 years? Are there any triggers? Is the diagnosis of epilepsy clear? Have you had a CT or MRI of the head, EEG, etc.? You mentioned taking medication and still have seizures, how often do they occur? Are you taking medication regularly? What medications do you take? Have you had your blood levels checked? Did you have febrile convulsions as a child? Has anyone else in your family had similar seizures? Have you had any cranial trauma? There are many different types of epilepsy. Most of them can be treated well with reasonable medication; some require surgery such as Gamma Knife. Patient: I have this genetic condition. Can surgery be a complete treatment? Chen Guofang, Department of Neurology: Surgical treatment is performed only when there are strict indications. He is often ineffective with regular antiepileptic medication and mainly originates from one temporal lobe, with epileptogenic foci close to the cerebral cortex. This does not leave serious neurological deficits after surgery and has a better outcome. It is easier to control the seizures with medication after surgery. In your case, it is best to bring all the information you have checked and visit the hospital.
