Patient's question:
My friend's son came back on leave 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 then they disappear after a while. My mom 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 reasonable treatment. After the condition is stabilized, persistent medication for consolidation therapy for a period of time allows for complete discontinuation of medication. Similarly, epilepsy caused by stroke, after the acute phase, with stable condition and effective anti-epilepsy treatment, the seizures of most patients can also be controlled. However, for epilepsy caused by brain tumors, without tumor removal, epilepsy cannot be cured. Epilepsy caused by congenital brain developmental abnormalities is not very effective.
