Can epilepsy be cured?

  Chen Fuyong, Department of Neurosurgery, The First Hospital of Fujian Medical University: Hello! The first treatment for epilepsy is medication, and if regular medication is not effective for more than 2 years, surgical treatment can be considered. The key to surgical treatment of epilepsy is to find the abnormal discharging brain tissue (i.e. epileptic foci). If the epileptic foci can be successfully found and safely removed, then epilepsy can be cured. How do you find the epileptic focus? The following tests are needed: Video EEG – on the one hand, it can record the performance of your seizures, this helps to locate the epileptic foci, and at the same time, it can find the origin of the discharges during seizures. –can find the lesions in the brain; neuropsychological evaluation, etc. The combined analysis of these data will determine the location of the epileptic lesions. From your condition, the calcified foci next to the left frontal longitudinal fissure may be related to seizures, but further examination and evaluation is needed. We suggest that you visit the hospital at your convenience.
