In certain situations, anticonvulsants may be used to prevent seizures; these are focal neurological problems (e.g. inability to move a limb) and/or focal changes of the brain tissue on CT or MRI scan. Other procedures that may be done include:
- Therapeutic lumbar puncture (removal of excessive cerebrospinal fluid)
