Chairperson: Erik Taubøll, Oslo, Norway This teaching course will focus on how to diagnose and treat epilepsy patients in clinical practice. The speakers will initially discuss how to characterize seizures through clinical findings, EEG and imaging techniques, then discuss possible aetiologies. Seizures are not necessarily epileptic, and having epileptic seizures do not necessarily mean epilepsy. But if so, a rational choice of antiepileptic drugs have to be done based on information on seizure and epilepsy type, but also on individual factors. And should every seizure imply start of AED medication? When should we start, and last, but not least, when should we stop treatment? |
