Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition that affects the brain and is characterised by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. These seizures occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain and may vary in intensity—from brief lapses in awareness to severe convulsions.
A diagnosis of epilepsy is typically made when a person experiences two or more unprovoked seizures that are not linked to temporary causes such as fever or low blood sugar. Epilepsy can affect individuals of any age, gender, or background, and early diagnosis plays a crucial role in long-term seizure control and quality of life.
At VSH Superspeciality Hospital, we offer comprehensive, advanced epilepsy treatment in Bangalore through a multidisciplinary neurology team and evidence-based care protocols.
Epilepsy may develop due to various underlying factors, including:
Chemical imbalances in the brain
Brain tumours or structural abnormalities
Stroke or reduced blood flow to the brain
Head injuries or trauma
Central nervous system infections
Autoimmune conditions affecting the brain
Genetic or unknown (idiopathic) causes
In many patients, the exact cause may not be identifiable, yet effective treatment is still possible with the right neurological care.
Symptoms of epilepsy vary depending on the type and region of the brain affected. Common signs include:
Sudden jerking movements of the arms or legs
Loss of consciousness or awareness
Staring spells
Confusion after episodes
Unusual sensations, emotions, or behaviour changes
If seizures occur repeatedly without a clear trigger, immediate neurological evaluation is essential.
The first line of treatment for epilepsy involves anti-epileptic medications. These medicines help reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of seizures in most patients when taken regularly under medical supervision.
Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) is used for patients whose seizures are not fully controlled by medications.
An electrode is placed around the vagus nerve in the neck
A small battery-powered device is implanted under the skin
Regular electrical impulses help regulate abnormal brain activity
VNS can significantly reduce seizure frequency and improve overall neurological stability.
In cases where epilepsy is caused by the immune system attacking brain tissue, immunotherapy plays a vital role. Treatment options may include:
High-dose corticosteroids
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)
Plasma exchange therapy
Immune-suppressing medications
These therapies target the root immune cause and help stabilise brain function.
Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS) is an advanced treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy.
Electrodes are placed at the seizure focus in the brain
The device detects abnormal electrical activity
Targeted stimulation is delivered instantly to stop seizures before they spread
RNS is suitable for patients who are not candidates for conventional surgery.
Surgery remains the most effective option for eliminating seizures in selected patients.
Removal of the seizure-causing brain focus
Traditional open surgery or minimally invasive laser surgery
Precise localisation using Video-EEG and intracranial EEG monitoring
Surgical treatment is considered only after thorough evaluation by an expert epilepsy team.
