Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. How can intractable temporal lobe epilepsy be treated?Doctor's answer:
For patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, oral medication may not be particularly effective. The patient may experience recurrent episodes of loss of consciousness, foaming at the mouth, and symptoms such as mouth and eye deviation. If oral medication cannot control the condition, it is recommended to surgically remove the anterior temporal lobe, which can effectively control the recurrence of epilepsy symptoms. Otherwise, if left untreated for a long time, surgical treatment may not be as effective.
