Question
My daughter has had a second epileptic seizure, and the previous EEG results were not good! What tests do I need to undergo this time?
Answer
EEG diagnosis for epilepsy is not specific, with about 30% of the normal population showing abnormal results without undergoing an EEG. The causes of epilepsy are complex and may be related to difficult childbirth, brain hypoxia caused by various reasons, trauma, high fever, brain inflammation, or genetic factors. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo a brain imaging test, such as an MRI, to find the potential causes of epilepsy. In most cases, epilepsy can be cured.
