Question

Can epilepsy caused by postoperative softening lesions be cured?

Answer

Although there have been no episodes for six years after medication, the EEG still shows abnormalities, and it is not recommended to stop taking the medication. It is suggested to continue medication treatment until the EEG returns to normal, then switch to a maintenance dose of medication for several months to half a year before considering discontinuation. The likelihood of epilepsy being cured is low, and it is advisable to avoid stimulating brain cells, which may require long-term or lifelong medication to control the condition.
