RESUMEN
La epilepsia es una enfermedad crónica, con crisis recurrentes y paroxísticas por anomalías en la actividad eléctrica cerebral, y controlable en la mayor parte de los pacientes mediante fármacos antiepilépticos, en monoterapia o politerapia. Probablemente uno de los aspectos más complejos en epilepsia es la valoración de la incapacidad laboral que produce en la persona afectada. Para realizarla deben tenerse en cuenta múltiples factores tendentes a la adopción de decisiones homogéneas, atendiendo a criterios de homologación y dentro del principio de equidad que preside la concesión de las prestaciones de la Seguridad Social por incapacidad laboral. Se requiere para ello la colaboración de todos los profesionales implicados en las distintas especialidades regidos en sus informes por criterios comunes y considerando la propia enfermedad y los efectos de los tratamientos prescritos, que pueden contribuir por sus efectos adversos a las limitaciones para el desempeño de determinadas profesiones de riesgo (AU)
ABSTRACT
Epilepsy is a chronic disease cursing with recurrent and paroxysmal crises due to anomalies in the electrical activity of brain, and is controllable in most of the patients by using antiepileptic drugs, in single or combination therapy. Probably one of the most complex aspects of epilepsy is the assessment of disability for work of the affected person. For this purpose, multiple factors need to be taken into account for homogeneous decision-making, and according to criteria of approval and within the principle of equity inherent in the granting of Social Security disability benefits. This requires the cooperation of all professionals involved in the different specialties, with reports using common criteria and taking into account the disease itself, as well as the effects of the prescribed treatments, the effects of which can contribute to the limitations in the performance of certain professions of risk (AU)
