What is Epilepsy? What is a Seizure?
Epilepsy, which is sometimes called a seizure disorder, is a disorder of the brain. A person is diagnosed with Epilepsy when they have had two or more seizures.
A seizure is a short-change in normal brain activity. Seizures are the main sign of Epilepsy. Some seizures can look like staring spells. Other seizures cause a person to fall, shake, and unawareness of surroundings.
Dr. David Strayhorn, the only fellowship trained and board-certified Epileptologist in the area, leads the CNS Seizure & Epilepsy clinic. He also heads the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit at Frederick Health Hospital for the diagnosis and treatment of seizures and Epilepsy.
We order and provide expert interpretation of routine and prolonged EEGs, with or without video, on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
Remember, only a doctor can determine if you qualify to be an Epilepsy patient.
