Bancaud 1981 Therapy Engel 2001 Therapeutic Engel 2006 Response to drugs Berg 2010 Diagnosis often has implications for treatment, management, prognosis Fischer 2014 A decision for treatment does not necessarily equate to a diagnosis of epilepsy, but it can be taken as a marker for belief in a strong enduring predisposition for further seizures. Conversely, a diagnosis of epilepsy does not necessarily require treatment. A treatment decision is distinct from a diagnosis, and should be individualized depending upon the desires of the patient, the individual risk-benefit ratio and the available options. The physician should weigh the possible avoidance of a second seizure with associated risks against the risk for drug-related side effects and costs for the patients. To be clear, the diagnosis of epilepsy and a decision to treat are two related but different issues. Many epileptologists treat for a time after an acute symptomatic seizure (for example, with Herpes encephalitis), with no implication of epilepsy. In contrast, patients with mild seizures, with seizures at very long intervals, or those declining therapy might go untreated even when a diagnosis of epilepsy is beyond dispute. |
