Epilepsy & Seizure Disorders

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures resulting from abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can vary widely in type and severity, from brief lapses of attention or muscle jerks to prolonged convulsions, depending on the affected brain region. Epilepsy may result from genetic mutations, structural brain abnormalities, infections, metabolic disorders, or traumatic brain injury. Diagnosis relies on clinical history, neurological examination, electroencephalography (EEG), and neuroimaging to identify structural causes or epileptogenic zones. Management includes anti-epileptic medications, lifestyle modifications, and, in refractory cases, surgical interventions such as resective surgery, vagus nerve stimulation, or responsive neurostimulation. Recent advances in precision medicine and genetics allow for targeted therapies tailored to specific epilepsy syndromes. Pediatric epilepsy presents unique challenges, including developmental and cognitive impacts, necessitating multidisciplinary care involving neurologists, neuropsychologists, and therapists. Quality of life, seizure control, and safety remain central goals, with patient and caregiver education being vital. Emerging research focuses on novel drug targets, neuromodulation, seizure prediction using AI algorithms, and the role of neuroinflammation in epilepsy pathophysiology. Public awareness, early diagnosis, and access to care are critical in reducing morbidity and stigma associated with epilepsy. With ongoing advances in neurotechnology, pharmacotherapy, and personalized care approaches, the management of epilepsy and seizure disorders continues to evolve, offering improved outcomes and hope for patients worldwide.
