Patient Question:Disease:My husband is suspected to have epilepsy symptomsDescription:My husband and I have been married for almost three years, and last year he suddenly had one seizure each, with his eyes rolling upwards and his limbs sputtering for ten minutes awake. I would like to ask if this is epilepsy? Can it be treated? I don’t know what to do now, I’m under a lot of stress, and so is he. The fourth military medical university Tangdu hospital neurosurgery Sun Yang hope to provide help:can be completely treated, no matter how much money as long as it can cure him Xi’an Tangdu hospital neurosurgery Sun Yang reply: Hello, first of all, the patient’s abnormal discharge site and lesion site should be clear, in the development of the corresponding treatment plan. There are two ways to treat epilepsy at present, one is medication, which is also the treatment you are currently receiving, and the second is surgical treatment. Medication can achieve satisfactory results in 70% of patients, but it also tends to have only a controlling effect. When medication control is not satisfactory, surgical treatment can be considered. Surgery is the only theoretically curative treatment for epilepsy, but not all patients are suitable for surgical treatment, and only 10-20% of patients can be treated satisfactorily with surgery. The main tests are: MRI, video EEG (including pterygoid electrodes), PET (as appropriate). My clinic hours are on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
