What Causes Strokes in the Elderly

For the elderly, seizures are also clinically known as epilepsy. Epilepsy in the elderly can be secondary to cerebrovascular disease, especially temporal lobe cerebrovascular disease, which may cause seizures, such as temporal lobe cerebral infarction and temporal lobe cerebral hemorrhage after surgery. If necessary, we can check the EEG, and give the patient oral valproate, phenytoin sodium, and carbamazepine and other drugs to control. Secondly, epilepsy in the elderly can also be seen in some intracranial occupations, temporal lobe and frontal lobe occupations are more common, and can be given surgical treatment if necessary. Older people can also be seen in primary epilepsy, the main consideration is that as people grow older, there will be brain atrophy, the function of the brain cells will gradually decline, there may be such primary seizures, treatment can be given to the patient oral antiepileptic drugs.
