SEIZURES / EPILEPSY
Neurology Consultants Huntsville has expertise in the management and treatment of epilepsy. Treatment options to eliminate seizures or reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures in children and adults include medications, vagus nerve stimulation, surgery, awake brain surgery, ketogenic diet and more.
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes spontaneous, repeated seizures. Seizures occur when there are abnormal electrical impulses in the brain. A single seizure does not necessarily mean that a person will develop epilepsy.
​
Epilepsy can occur on its own or can be associated with other neurological disorders. Epileptic seizures may cause:
-
Changes in sensation, such as taste, sight, smell, vision, and/or hearing
-
Changes in motor function, such as tremors, muscle spasms, rigidity, and/or loss of balance
-
Behavioral symptoms, such as staring episodes or unconsciousness
​
There are more than 30 different types of epileptic seizures. The type of seizure a person experiences depends on where the seizure begins in the brain. A partial seizure occurs when there are abnormal electrical impulses in only one area of the brain. General epileptic seizures occur when electrical impulses “storm” or spread through the brain.
