Mohammed F. Ahmed, M.D. > Seizure Disorder
A seizure occurs when the electrical activity in the brain gets disrupted. It temporarily affects brain functioning and may cause severe damage to the patient. Before a seizure occurs, there may be unusual symptoms such as uncontrollable shaking or a person losing consciousness.
In some cases, a seizure may be brought on by a very high fever or abnormal blood levels of the patient. A sudden accident or a head injury can also bring the onset of a seizure. Brain tumors or a stroke can cause a person to suffer from this disease. People with the seizure disorder are likely to be affected by excess or sudden stress.
The doctor takes an EEG to determine the cause of the seizure. They also try to establish the way that the seizure occurred, depending upon the report of an eyewitness. The doctor also establishes the behavior and actions of the patient that could have possibly led to the onset of the seizure. A sudden injury, medication or their sleep habits are evaluated to pinpoint the reason for the sudden occurrence. A CT scan or MRI is also done to determine if there is any damage to the brain.
A few measures to treat or eliminate the cause of the disorder are:
