Epilepsy is diagnosed based on information of events that happened during the attack. Tests may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis, type and cause.
Electroencephalogram (EEG)
This test records the electrical activity of the brain through electrodes attached to the patient’s head. The patient may be asked to perform simple tasks during the EEG recording.
Computerised Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Either form of imaging may be required to look for structural causes of seizures.
