Epilepsy Diagnosis: Insights from our Neurologist | Dr Suresh Babu P | Arete Hospitals

How to diagnose epilepsy? What is Seizure & Epilepsy? Dr Suresh Babu, Consultant Neurologist, Arete Hospitals, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, delves into the challenges of epileptic diagnosis in particular with patients who have had an episode of sudden loss of consciousness or of sudden falls. He elaborates on the importance of careful history or the course of events, as reported by bystander. The utility of video-EEG and MRI brain scans for correct diagnosis and classification of Epilepsy to ensure the right treatment are also discussed. Diagnosis of Epilepsy in the OPD Dr Suresh Babu talks of the common problems in epilepsy diagnosis. Most commonly, it is the diagnosis of patients with a first episode of loss of consciousness or patients who experience sudden falls. Here detailed information obtained from bystanders who had witnessed the event is very important and contributes to the understanding of how long the episode lasted, as well as its nature. This history helps to differentiate between epilepsy and other conditions that may present in a similar manner. Based on this medication is determined both the type of medication and the duration. Two Modalities are used for the differentiation. One is the Video EEG and the other is the MRI Brain. The Significance of Video EEG in the Assessment of Epilepsy The doctor explains that a Video EEG (electroencephalography) is helpful in the determination of whether the episodes which are recurring (more than 2 or 3 episodes per day) can be classified as seizure-epileptic in nature. He says that Video EEG is ideal for patients who suffer from recurrent episodes, as both video and EEG recording are done simultaneously. This allows neurologists to observe the patient’s physical responses and brain activity during an episode, helping differentiate true epileptic seizures (originating in the brain) from non-epileptic events. This differentiates those that originate in the brain and those that don’t and diagnose the Epilepsy appropriately and choose the appropriate medication. MRI Brain - The Evaluation of Structural Alteration He goes on to explain that the MRI assists in searching for any structural defect that may cause the seizures, and this will inform the neurologists on the choice of effective drugs and management measures in relation to the type of epilepsy diagnosed.
