Epilepsy is a common condition that causes repeated seizures. The seizures are caused by bursts of electrical activity in the brain that are not normal. Seizures may cause problems with muscle control, movement, speech, vision, or awareness. They usually don't last very long, but they can be scary. The good news is that treatment usually works to control and reduce seizures.
Often doctors do not know what causes epilepsy. Less than half of people with epilepsy know why they have it. Sometimes another problem, such as a head injury, brain tumor, brain infection, or stroke, causes epilepsy.
The main symptom of epilepsy is repeated seizures that happen without warning. Without treatment, seizures may continue and even become worse and more frequent over time.
There are different kinds of seizures. You may have only one type of seizure. Some people have more than one type. Depending on what kind of seizure you have:
Not everyone who has seizures has epilepsy. Sometimes seizures happen because of an injury, illness, or another problem. In these cases, the seizures stop once that problem improves or goes away.
Diagnosing epilepsy can be hard. If you think that you or your child has had a seizure, your doctor will first try to figure out if it was a seizure or something else with similar symptoms. For example, a muscle tic or a migraine headache may look or feel like a kind of seizure.
Your doctor will ask lots of questions. He or she will want to know what happened to you just before, during, and right after a seizure. Your doctor will also examine you and do some tests, such as an EEG. This information can help your doctor decide what kind of seizures you have and if you have epilepsy.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
New-onset thunderclap headache, progressive headaches, or headaches unlike any before — a potential sign of raised intracranial pressure or haemorrhage.
Uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain presenting as convulsions, focal seizures, or episodes of altered awareness — requiring neurosurgical evaluation.
Weakness, numbness, or loss of coordination affecting one side of the body, slurred speech, visual disturbance or cognitive decline.
Symptoms of ICP including headache, nausea, vomiting, and papilloedema — may indicate hydrocephalus, tumour, or subdural haematoma.
Back or neck pain radiating to the limbs, progressive weakness in arms or legs, bladder/bowel dysfunction — signs of cord compression.
MRI or CT showing tumour, AVM, aneurysm, haemorrhage or structural lesion requiring specialist neurosurgical opinion.
