In this episode of The CortiCare Podcast, host ⁠@GilSolanoREEGT ⁠sits down with Dr. Ro Elgavish — a leading neurologist, epileptologist, and expert in surgical treatment for epilepsy. With decades of experience building epilepsy programs and helping patients navigate complex neurological diagnoses, Dr. Elgavish shares clear, compassionate insights into: 1. A Single Seizure Doesn't Equal Epilepsy Experiencing one seizure doesn't automatically lead to an epilepsy diagnosis. Clinicians assess various factors, including seizure type, underlying causes, and the likelihood of recurrence, before making a definitive diagnosis. 2.

Second Seizure Solidifies Diagnosis A second unprovoked seizure significantly increases the probability of an epilepsy diagnosis. This recurrence suggests a persistent predisposition to seizures, warranting further evaluation and potential treatment. 3. Comprehensive Evaluation is Crucial Diagnosing epilepsy involves a thorough assessment, including patient history, neurological examinations, and diagnostic tests like EEGs and MRIs. These tools help identify seizure patterns and potential underlying causes. 4. Early Intervention Improves Outcomes Timely diagnosis and treatment initiation can enhance quality of life for individuals with epilepsy. Early intervention may reduce seizure frequency and severity, and mitigate associated risks. 👉 Subscribe to The CortiCare Podcast for more expert conversations on brain health, neurology, and innovative treatment strategies.
