An expert may compare the circumstances of each event, recurrence pattern, witness descriptions, medical history, neurological findings, laboratory results, EEG or video-EEG data, and brain imaging. A single acute symptomatic or provoked seizure does not by itself establish epilepsy, and conditions such as syncope, metabolic disturbances, medication or substance effects, and functional seizures can sometimes resemble epileptic seizures. More than one type of event may also occur in the same person, so the diagnosis should be based on the overall clinical pattern and supporting evidence.
A routine EEG may detect epileptiform abnormalities that support an epilepsy diagnosis or help classify seizure type, but EEG findings must be interpreted with the clinical history. A normal routine EEG does not by itself exclude epilepsy. When a typical event is captured, video-EEG can correlate the person’s behavior and symptoms with electrical brain activity and may help distinguish epileptic seizures from nonepileptic events.
The clinical history may be reviewed for seizure type and classification, antiseizure medications used, dose and duration, tolerability, documented medication use, adverse effects, drug levels when clinically informative, and response to previous treatment. Drug-resistant epilepsy is generally defined as failure of adequate trials of two tolerated, appropriately chosen and used antiseizure medication regimens to achieve sustained seizure freedom. When seizures remain uncontrolled, specialized epilepsy care may include diagnostic reassessment, prolonged monitoring, consideration of epilepsy surgery, neurostimulation, dietary therapy, or other treatment options based on the individual case.
