Abstract: Evaluation of patients with first seizures and the need to treat or not treat them has remained contentious. With second seizures occurring at rates of 20-45%, the physician and patient need to work together for the best strategy for treatment. On one hand, a patient free from seizures is the goal and on the other hand, good quality of life free from drug side effects is also the goal.
The poster summarizes possible methods of evaluating and treating first seizures.Summary: Evaluation and treatment of first seizures needs good clinical judgement and patient-physician discussion.References: 1.
