ABSTRACT
Albrecht and Markus reviewed the past 5 years of the
literature about the first-ever seizure discussing the epileptic diagnosis and
best management after the event. They conclude even though there are many
imaging or electrodiagnostic studies the anamnesis continues to consider the
most important tool in the FUS diagnosis. Moreover, the study found that the
cause is the central key to the risk of recurrent episodes. However, they
conclude that there is no current way to precisely determine the individualized
recurrence risk.
