Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It affects people of all ages and can significantly impact quality of life if left untreated. Dr. Naresh Kumar, a distinguished Neurosurgeon and Epilepsy Specialist, offers advanced diagnostic and treatment options to help patients manage epilepsy effectively and regain control of their lives.
Understanding Epilepsy
Seizures in epilepsy can range from brief lapses in attention or muscle jerks to prolonged convulsions. The causes of epilepsy include:
- Genetic Factors: A family history of epilepsy may increase susceptibility.
- Brain Injuries: Trauma from accidents, strokes, or infections can lead to epilepsy.
- Developmental Disorders: Conditions like autism or neurodevelopmental delays can be associated with epilepsy.
- Structural Abnormalities: Brain tumors, scarring, or malformations may trigger seizures.
Types of Seizures
Epileptic seizures are classified into two main types:
- Focal Seizures: Originate in one area of the brain and may cause localized symptoms like muscle twitching or sensory changes.
- Generalized Seizures: Affect both sides of the brain and include tonic-clonic (convulsive) and absence seizures (staring spells).
Recognizing the type of seizure is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
