Epilepsy Treatment in New Delhi

Expert diagnosis and personalized treatment by a DrNB Neurology specialist.

Overview

Epilepsy is a neurological condition in which a person experiences recurrent unprovoked seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It affects people of all ages and, with proper diagnosis and treatment, the majority can lead full, seizure-free lives.

Care begins with classifying the seizure type using EEG and imaging, then selecting medication tailored to the individual. Long-term follow-up ensures medication doses stay appropriate, side effects are minimised and lifestyle guidance supports safety at home, work and on the road.

Symptoms

Sudden loss of awareness or staring spells
Uncontrolled jerking of arms or legs
Stiffening of the body
Loss of consciousness with fall
Tongue biting or incontinence during episode
Confusion after the episode
Brief unusual sensations or smells
Repeated unexplained falls

Causes

Genetic Factors

Some epilepsies have a clear inherited component.

Brain Injury

Past head injury, stroke or infection can scar the brain and cause seizures.

Structural Lesions

Tumours, malformations or cortical dysplasia may be discovered on MRI.

Infections

Past meningitis, encephalitis or neurocysticercosis can trigger epilepsy.

Metabolic Causes

Low sugar, sodium imbalance or kidney issues may provoke seizures.

Unknown Cause

In many patients no specific cause is found, and treatment is still very effective.
