    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pharmacology
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Epilepsy management has advanced significantly over the last decade.
    • Improved diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies are crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review recent advancements in epilepsy management.
    • To highlight challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.
    • To discuss implications for pregnancy and long-term patient outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Long-term electroencephalography (EEG) with video monitoring for accurate seizure diagnosis.
    • Computerized tomography (CT) for identifying structural brain lesions.
    • Pharmacokinetic analysis of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and serum level monitoring.

    Main Results:

    • EEG and CT enhance diagnostic accuracy and lesion identification.
    • Individualized AED dosing based on serum levels optimizes efficacy and minimizes toxicity.
    • Pregnancy in epileptic women can lead to increased seizure frequency and altered drug levels, with a higher risk of congenital anomalies in infants.
    • Significant challenges persist in epilepsy rehabilitation, including high unemployment rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Current epilepsy management strategies offer improved diagnosis and treatment efficacy.
    • Further research is needed to address risks during pregnancy and improve rehabilitation outcomes.
    • Reevaluation of prognostic indicators is necessary for comprehensive epilepsy care.
