Patient's question:
A few days ago, my elderly father was working in the field at home when he accidentally injured himself. The injury was to his head, which caused bleeding in his brain. So, I would like to ask what to do about epilepsy caused by traumatic brain injury. I hope that experts or doctors who are knowledgeable can help me find an answer.Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of epilepsy caused by traumatic brain injury, some oral medications can be used for standardized treatment. For particularly difficult-to-treat epilepsy, some peptide-based medications can also be taken orally. If the physical condition permits, surgical treatment can also be performed. Treating epilepsy caused by traumatic brain injury is relatively difficult, and it may also lead to damage to neurological functions or other physical symptoms. It is recommended to check with a hospital for a specific evaluation.
