Info

Epilepsy diagnosis • Clinical to classify the epilepsy – Reliable witness – Tongue laceration – Prolonged LOC • EEGs do NOT diagnose epilepsy – Many patients have normal EEGs – Spikes on an EEG do NOT prove epilepsy
Evaluation • Elicit complete history to exclude a provoked seizure • CBC, CMP, UDS at a minimum • Imaging – Generalized only requires head CT – Focal onset REQUIRES MRI • EEG – Highest positives within 24 hrs – Anticonvulsants do NOT suppress abnormalities
