Post brain surgery seizure

Hi,

My brother undergone a brain surgery in Africa in October 2022. Everything seemed to have gone well with his recovery, in December 2022, he started having seizures which has been happening every 15 to 16 days interval.

I'm particularly concerned, because the young man is only 35 years old, the whole problem is beginning to affect him psychologically as he is always feeling unhappy and helpless.

I will be grateful if you can please provide guidance on the best course of treatment plans or drug to help stop the seizure..

Thanks

 

 

 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Unfortunately, this is a nurse led service, so we can't give you specific medical advice.

    Any new episodes of seizures needs to be reviewed by his specialist doctor. He may need anti-epileptic medication prescribed, or a brain scan to see whether there is brain swelling, or a regrowth of his tumour.

    I hope that this helps,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
