ABSTRACT
Seizure is the most common and serious neurological emergency seen in clinical practice. A detailed evaluation of every patient with first onset seizure is mandatory to determine seizure type, precipitating events, underlying etiology. There is no reliable diagnostic test and so its diagnosis and management requires clinical acumen and experience If the event is an epileptic seizure, the seizure type and associated clinical, electroencephalographic (EEG) and neuroimaging findings assist in determining the risk of seizure recurrence and the possible need to begin anticonvulsant therapy.
