Epilepsy Intermittent

Intermittent epilepsy is a hereditary genetic disease accompanied by convulsive seizures of various forms, occurring with relapses and periods of complete recovery.

The diagnosis of epilepsy is made by a council of neurologists based on a number of indicators, which include descriptions of seizures, electroencephalography data, neuroimaging studies and examinations for the presence of other diseases that provoke the development of seizures.

During the development of an attack, seizures can be different, for example: - *focal* with local involvement of a small area of ​​the brain *tonic* or *clonic* - like tonic seizures, when a person freezes in one position for several minutes, or clonic, when his muscles begin to twitch. Options include loss of consciousness or preservation of adequacy of thinking and speech during the period of convulsions. They may recur or resemble paroxysmal activity in the timing of the episode. There is no complete cure for this disease. But medicine has reached a fairly high level, and even if the disease worsens more than four times a year, the patient can achieve well-being after prescribing medications aimed at suppressing epileptic activity of the brain.
