Patient's question:
My friend's son came back on holiday a few days ago and told my friend that there is a student in his class who experiences hallucinations every day. He often sees things that others cannot see, and these objects disappear after a while. My mother said that this kind of situation could be a sign of epilepsy, which is a precursor to epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
The difficulty of curing epilepsy caused by different etiologies varies. For example, epilepsy caused by cranial trauma can be effectively controlled in most cases with rational treatment. After the condition is stabilized, persisting in medication for a consolidation period allows for complete discontinuation of the drugs. Similarly, epilepsy caused by stroke can also be controlled in most patients after the acute phase, with stable condition and effective anti-epilepsy treatment. However, for epilepsy caused by brain tumors, it is obviously impossible to cure without tumor removal. Epilepsy caused by congenital brain developmental abnormalities tends to have poor outcomes.
