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 primary epilepsy be diagnosed to identify the cause?Doctor's answer:
The causes of deformed epilepsy are very complex, and it can be roughly divided into three major categories: symptomatic epilepsy, idiopathic epilepsy, and cryptogenic epilepsy. Among these, only symptomatic epilepsy has clear central nervous system structural damage and dysfunction, and there is also a certain relationship with heredity across generations. Idiopathic epilepsy means that the cause cannot be found, but it can be improved by conducting careful examinations such as electroencephalography, cranial CT, and magnetic resonance imaging.
