Patient's question:
Got myoclonic epilepsy, daily life, diet, and living habits all need someone to take care of. I wonder why this disease is caused and how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
The elderly person in the family suffering from epilepsy indeed requires long-term care. This type of epilepsy is most likely caused by multiple focal lesions or significant damage reappearing in the brain, which can lead to frequent grand mal seizures. It is necessary to visit the neurology outpatient department for a detailed examination, including a brain MRI and an electroencephalogram, to help determine the type and severity of the epilepsy. Some people may need to take antiepileptic drugs for a long time.
