    Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological condition; a seizure is a event in which an individual's awareness may be impared and behaviour altered.A careful clinical history remains the single ... most important componentin the assessment of a patient with possible epilepsy. A patient suspected of having epilepsy must have some supportive investigations for the diagnosis of the epilepsy, which include: full blood tests with biochemical tests, electrocardiogram, EEG. In adults the change of finding a structural lesionn as a couse of seizure is present, so CT or MRI scan should be performed. There are many disorders involving alteration of consciousness, or focal neurological symptoms, which may be confused with epilepsy seizures. Theconditions most commonly mistaken for epileptic seizures are syncope, pseudoseizures, panic attacks, hiperventilations, breath-holding attacks, night terrors, day-dreaming, movement disorders, narcolepsy, transient ischaemic attacks, migraine, transient global amnesia, hypoglycaemia, vertigo.We should provide some further investigations.
