Epilepsy Treatment: Safe & Advanced Care at Synovia Health

Epilepsy is a long-term brain condition that causes sudden, repeated seizures. These seizures happen because of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. They may affect a person’s movements, emotions, or awareness. At Synovia Health, we provide safe, effective, and customized epilepsy treatment to help patients manage seizures and live healthier lives.

What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that leads to repeated seizures. These seizures can be mild, like brief staring spells, or more serious, like shaking and losing consciousness. Some people only experience one type of seizure, while others may have several kinds. The condition can affect people of any age, but children and older adults are more at risk. While epilepsy is a lifelong condition, many people can live seizure-free with the right epilepsy treatment.

What Causes Epilepsy?

There are several causes of epilepsy, and in many cases, the exact reason is not known. However, some common causes include:

• Head trauma or brain injury

• Brain tumors

• Stroke or bleeding in the brain

• Birth injuries or brain development problems

• Infections like meningitis or encephalitis

• Genetic conditions

• High fevers or alcohol withdrawal

Common Symptoms of Epilepsy

Epilepsy symptoms depend on the type of seizure and the area of the brain affected. Seizures can be classified as either focal or generalized.

Focal seizures affect one part of the brain and may cause:

• Sudden confusion or fear

• Unusual sensations or smells

• Muscle jerks in one part of the body

• Repetitive movements or blinking

Generalized seizures involve the whole brain and may lead to:

• Full body convulsions

• Loss of consciousness

• Stiffness or shaking

• Sudden falls or blank stares

If you or someone you know has had a seizure, it’s important to seek medical help to begin proper epilepsy treatment.

Diagnosis & Epilepsy Treatment

At Synovia Health, we begin your care with a full diagnosis. Our specialists will take a detailed medical history and conduct physical and neurological exams. Common tests used to confirm epilepsy include:

• EEG (Electroencephalogram) to detect brain activity

• MRI or CT scan to check for brain damage or tumors

• PET scans for detailed brain imaging

Once diagnosed, our doctors will recommend the best epilepsy treatment for your condition. This may include medication, lifestyle changes, or advanced procedures if needed.

Medications for Epilepsy

Anti-seizure medications (also known as AEDs) are usually the first step in epilepsy treatment. These medicines help reduce the number and intensity of seizures. Our team carefully selects the best medication based on your age, health, seizure type, and medical history. Some people respond well to one medicine, while others may need a combination.

What is Epilepsy Surgery?

If medication does not work, our specialists may recommend epilepsy surgery. This surgery is performed to remove or disconnect the part of the brain that causes seizures.

Types of Epilepsy Surgery

• Resective Surgery: Removes the brain tissue where seizures begin, often in the temporal lobe.

• LITT (Laser Therapy): A modern, minimally invasive option using laser energy to destroy seizure-causing tissue.

• Hemispherectomy: Removes one side of the brain’s outer layer, usually for children with severe epilepsy.

• Corpus Callosotomy: Cuts the nerves connecting both sides of the brain to stop seizure spread.
