Epilepsy is a disorder that is characterized by a persistent predisposition of the brain to generate epileptic seizures.
Signs and symptoms during seizure include sudden falls, involuntary jerky movements of limbs in an awake patient, blank spells, urine incontinence with loss of awareness, or during sleep, falls, jerky movements, automatisms during sleep, and episodes of confused behavior with lack or loss of awareness and/or recollection.
It is recommended that all patients having a first seizure be referred to a specialist as soon as possible.
In most clinical settings, seizures are not treated unless ≥2 unprovoked seizures are demonstrated within a 6-month period.
For further information regarding the management of Epilepsy (Pediatric), please refer to Disease Algorithm for the Treatment Guideline.
