Seizures & Epilepsy
Seizures — electrical disruptions in the brain — can affect consciousness, movements, feelings or behaviors. You may have an increased risk of seizures due to your family history, abnormal blood vessels in the brain, stroke, brain tumor or injury, or infection. Seizures need immediate care to discover what’s causing them.
Neurologists are skilled in diagnosing and treating seizures and epilepsy (more than two seizures of unknown cause more than a day apart). We use sophisticated imaging tests, such as MRI, to diagnose epilepsy and offer a full range of therapies to prevent seizures — from medicines and special diets to advanced treatments such as deep brain stimulation and minimally invasive surgery.
