By definition, a seizure is a burst of uncontrolled electrical activity between brain cells (neurons or nerve cells) that may cause temporary abnormalities in muscle tone or movements (twitching, limpness, or stiffness), changes in behavior, level of consciousness, states of awareness, memory, or sensations.

While causes can be difficult to pinpoint, we can provide help with seizure causes, symptoms, and identification of types of seizures in adults, children, and youth.

These are a few examples of possible seizure causes:

  • Intracranial bleeding
  • Substance misuse and withdrawal
  • High fever
  • Congenital conditions
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Head trauma
  • Stroke
  • Central nervous system infection
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Epilepsy – the most common cause

Call for an initial consultation. We have unparalleled expertise in assessing causation and treating the full spectrum of seizure disorders.

Seizure Treatment Options for Huntington Residents

Seizure-Treatment-Huntington-NY

An accurate diagnosis and determining the likelihood of another occurrence is vital to safety for Huntington residents.

Dr. McMonigle will review your symptoms and evaluate that information relative to your medical history. Several tests may be conducted, such as a neurological examination to test for motor abilities and mental function, a blood test to check for infection or genetic conditions, and a lumbar puncture to check for an infection in the cerebrospinal fluid.

Seizure treatment options may depend on the causes and your medical history. As a professional neurologist, Dr. McMonigle will rule out possible physical causes by first checking for epilepsy because the results will influence the types of follow-on tests required. Those tests may include:

  • EEG imaging test
  • CT scan
  • MRI
  • PET scan
  • SPECT test

We may recommend other forms of seizure treatment for non-epileptic cases. The doctor can work with you to determine if lifestyle changes or medications might be appropriate and in combinations that may work best for you.
