Patient's question:
Not feeling well, also uncomfortable physically. Is it normal to have epilepsy due to bleeding in the brainstem?Doctor's answer:
A hemorrhage in the brainstem followed by a recurrence of epilepsy is a relatively common postoperative complication, representing a secondary form of epilepsy. It is recommended that you undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) to check for any abnormal spikes. Additionally, active medication treatment should be administered to thoroughly remove local blood clots. In most cases, the condition can improve significantly. If the epilepsy symptoms still do not improve, you may consider using antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine for treatment.
