Epilepsy is generally caused by cerebrovascular diseases, brain trauma, intracranial tumors, and central nervous system infections, and some cases of epilepsy are due to congenital genetic factors. Patients with epilepsy need to undergo timely examinations and treatments in the department of neurology. Examination methods mainly include CT, MRI, EEG, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, cerebral angiography, etc., among which video EEG or ambulatory EEG is the most important basis for diagnosing epilepsy. Once epilepsy is diagnosed, the treatment plan needs to be decided based on the individual condition of the patient. If it is the patient's first episode, medication may not be necessary initially, and regular follow-ups are sufficient. However, if the patient frequently experiences episodes, it is necessary to promptly administer antiepileptic drugs, commonly used drugs include carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, gabapentin, levetiracetam, etc.
