overview

Primary Prevention

  • Effective measures for the primary prevention of epilepsy include:
    • In healthy people, we can prevent epilepsy by reducing the chance of possible epilepsy causes to happen such as:

Head trauma[1]

Brain tumor[2]

Brain hemorrhage[3]

Encephalitis[4]

Hypoglycemia[5]

Hypoxic encephalopathy[6]

Stroke[7]

Common Causes

Cerebral palsy[8]

Electrolyte disturbances[9]

Epileptic encephalopathy - Lennox-Gastaut type[10]

Febrile Seizures[11]

Huntington's[12]

Intoxication[13]

Uremia[14]

less common causes

Vitamin deficiency[15]

    • In patients who already have epilepsy, we can reduce the triggers of seizure such as:[16][17][18]
      • Sleep deprivation
      • Fever
      • Light flashing
      • Hyperventilation
      • Alcohol
      • Physical stress such as physical exercise or illness
      • Psychological stress
      • Depression
