Question
What are the symptoms before an epileptic seizure?
Answer
Before an epileptic seizure, various symptoms may occur, including hallucinations and visual abnormalities, which can be precursors to the seizure. The difficulty of treating epilepsy can be influenced by the underlying cause, such as epilepsy resulting from a head injury. With appropriate treatment, most cases can be effectively controlled. After the condition stabilizes, with a period of medication treatment, there is a chance to completely stop taking medication. However, if epilepsy is caused by a brain tumor and the tumor is not removed, it is difficult to cure the epilepsy. Epilepsy caused by congenital brain development disorders also has a poorer treatment outcome.
