We provide outpatient care for patients with epilepsy and
suspected seizure disorders.
Care focuses on understanding seizure events, confirming diagnosis,
and providing ongoing management, including medication review.
When to seek evaluation
- Recurrent seizures or convulsive episodes
- Episodes of loss of consciousness or sudden collapse
- Brief staring episodes or unresponsiveness
- Unexplained movements, jerking, or falls
- Follow-up after a first seizure or existing diagnosis of epilepsy
Not all seizure-like events are epilepsy. Careful assessment is needed to determine the cause.
At your visit
We review your symptoms, medical history, current medications,
and any previous test results. A neurological examination is performed,
and we consider whether further evaluation or follow-up is needed.
Additional testing, such as EEG or imaging, may be arranged when indicated,
but is not required in all cases.
Ongoing care
For patients with epilepsy, follow-up focuses on seizure control,
medication adjustment, and monitoring for side effects.
Treatment plans are reviewed and updated based on clinical progress.
If more specialized evaluation is needed, referral to an epilepsy center can be arranged.
When to seek urgent care
Seek immediate medical attention if a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes,
if seizures occur repeatedly without recovery, or if there is associated injury.
In these situations, please contact the Emergency Department without delay.
Appointment
Appointments are required in principle. A referral letter from another medical institution is recommended but not mandatory.
If available, please bring prior medical records, EEG or imaging reports,
and a list of current medications.
For appointment requests and language support, please see the
Neurology page.
