Patient's question:
My uncle's son was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. I would like to inquire about the different types of epilepsy recurrence.Doctor's answer:
General epilepsy recurrence forms include grand mal seizures, petit mal seizures, paroxysmal recurrences, and exclusion of absence seizures. Different types of epilepsy require different antiepileptic drugs during recurrence. Therefore, if epilepsy reoccurs, it is advisable to visit a neurology department in the hospital for an electroencephalogram (EEG) to determine the specific type of epilepsy. Subsequently, appropriate antiepileptic treatment can be decided upon.
