Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can vary in presentation, ranging from brief lapses in awareness to severe convulsions. Epilepsy may result from genetic factors, brain injuries, infections, or developmental abnormalities. Dr. Bharat Rastogi focuses on providing comprehensive care to patients with epilepsy, starting with an accurate diagnosis through advanced imaging techniques and electroencephalography (EEG).

Treatment typically includes anti-epileptic medications to control seizures, and in some cases, surgical interventions or devices like vagus nerve stimulators may be used. Educating patients about potential seizure triggers, such as sleep deprivation and stress, is also a key aspect of management. With the right treatment and lifestyle modifications, individuals with epilepsy can achieve significant improvements in their quality of life.
