Patient's question:
I was injured by something falling on me, and this external injury led to epilepsy. Hello, how should epilepsy caused by external injuries be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a common disease with a very complex etiology and diverse manifestations. If the patient has a clear cause of epilepsy, the cause should be treated, such as hypoglycemia causing epilepsy, which can be corrected. If epilepsy is caused by acute cerebrovascular disease, the cerebrovascular disease can be treated. If the patient frequently has recurrences, they should actively take antiepileptic drugs. Commonly used antiepileptic drugs include sodium valproate, phenobarbital, sodium phenytoin, carbamazepine, levetiracetam, lamotrigine, etc.
