Experiencing seizures can be frightening and disruptive, especially when the cause is unknown. Whether you're facing your first episode or have been living with ongoing seizure activity, receiving an accurate diagnosis is the first and most important step toward effective treatment and a better quality of life. At Southern Neurology in Miranda, our team of experienced neurologists specialises in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy, offering expert care backed by advanced diagnostics and personalised support.

How Is Epilepsy Diagnosed at Southern Neurology?

At our Miranda clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to epilepsy diagnosis. This includes:

✅ Detailed Medical History & Symptom Review
Our neurologists will discuss your symptoms, triggers, seizure frequency, and any past episodes or related health concerns.

✅ Neurological Examination
A thorough physical and neurological exam is performed to assess motor skills, reflexes, and cognitive function.

✅ EEG (Electroencephalogram)
An EEG records brain activity and helps identify abnormal electrical patterns that indicate seizure activity. We may use a routine EEG or prolonged video-EEG monitoring, depending on your case.

✅ Brain Imaging (MRI or CT Scan)
High-resolution imaging helps detect any structural abnormalities, such as brain lesions, tumors, or scar tissue that might be causing seizures.

✅ Blood Tests and Additional Screenings
These are used to rule out other potential causes of seizures, such as infections, metabolic issues, or autoimmune conditions.

When Should You See a Neurologist?

If you or someone you care about experiences any of the following, it’s important to seek a specialist evaluation:

• A first-time seizure or fainting spell with unusual movements

• Repeated unexplained blackouts, confusion, or memory lapses

• Known epilepsy but poor seizure control despite treatment

• Side effects from current epilepsy medication

Early and accurate diagnosis can make all the difference in controlling epilepsy and preventing further complications.Book Your Appointment Today
