Frequent seizures may be the result of epilepsy or possibly the warning sign of a life threatening concern, such as a brain tumor. If you deal with seizures on a regular basis, as millions of Americans do, then you require a thorough and accurate epilepsy diagnosis. At Complete Neurological Care, our NYC neurologists can assess the cause of your muscle twitching and discuss possible treatment options.
There are many different types of seizures, the most common being generalized and focal. A generalized one affects both sides of the brain and can lead to a postictal state afterward. A focal one occurs as a result of abnormal electrical activity in one or multiple parts of one side of the brain, they can be simple or complex. Possible causes of these episodes may include:

How the issue will be address depends on the cause, which the doctor will assess through a number of different diagnostic procedures.
At Complete Neurological Care we offer a number of diagnostic procedures, such as:
Transcranial doppler (TCD): Using ultrasound technology, the doctor will look at the blood flow within the brain for any abnormalities.
Brain Neuroimaging (MRI, CT Scan): Helpful in diagnosis brain structural lesions like benign or malignant tumors, cerebrovascular accident/stroke, demyelinating lesions and degenerative disease.
Electroencephalogram (EEG/Ambulatory Video EEG): This test is one of the main ways of diagnosing epilepsy. The doctor monitors the electrical impulses in the brain via electrodes placed on the scalp. We can also use this to diagnose a number of other possible brain problems.
That will depend on what the diagnostic procedures discover. In some cases the issue can be treated while others will need to be successfully managed. Our team will discuss your options and if necessary, refer you to a specialist.
