In order to reduce the excessive harm of epilepsy on patients, treatment of epilepsy must be as early as possible. However, diagnosis of epilepsy is particularly important. Accurate diagnosis is the key to treating epilepsy. Therefore, experts have given a detailed explanation of the diagnosis of epilepsy and hope that it will be helpful to you.
What are the methods for diagnosing epilepsy? Correctly judging the condition of epilepsy and starting treatment early is very important for epilepsy patients. The specific methods for diagnosing epilepsy include:
(1) Urine tests: These are mainly targeted at some genetic metabolic diseases, such as phenylketonuria.
(2) Blood chemical tests: These tests are very important as they can diagnose epilepsy caused by a lack of certain substances in the body and provide a basis for diagnosing diseases accompanied by epileptic seizures.
(3) Imaging tests: Except for already identified cases of primary epilepsy and epilepsy syndromes which do not require neurological imaging tests, all other cases can undergo this check. Imaging tests themselves cannot diagnose epilepsy; their main purpose is to clarify the cause and location of epilepsy for causal treatment and prognosis estimation.
(4) Electroencephalogram (EEG): Experts from Haihua Hospital introduce that an EEG during an episode is the most valuable auxiliary examination. Epilepsy involves epileptiform discharges in the brain during episodes. In clinical practice, diagnosing epilepsy requires combining medical history with physical examination results and other relevant content for comprehensive analysis. One should not deny epilepsy simply because the EEG result is negative. Experts from Haihua Hospital say that if someone has no clinical symptoms but a positive EEG result, epilepsy can still be confirmed. As long as the clinical presentation is typical, a diagnosis can generally be made. It's also important to strengthen EEG checks.
