Patient's question:
Last year, I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. In December of this year, I had a seizure. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a neurological disease. For epilepsy, you need to register at the neurology department. However, there are differences within neurology, which is divided into neurosurgery and neurology. Patients must be clear about this. When seeking treatment for epilepsy for the first time, you should go to the neurology department for examination and treatment. Surgical treatment is registered at the neurosurgery department. It is important to understand these departments for treatment.In daily life, epilepsy symptoms are often less noticeable in the early stages, so many patients may experience misdiagnosis. There are many factors that can cause epilepsy. For the initial consultation, you should go to the neurology department. If the epilepsy is caused by brain trauma or brain tumors, you will need to be transferred to the neurosurgery department.
