One of the most frustrating problems for veterinarians is the animal with a recurring behavioral disorder that is apparently a seizure disorder. Similar human disorders have been shown to be caused, in most cases, by organic disease in the cerebrum. There are reports in the veterinary literature that appear to support the same theory; however, there is no well-designed study with adequate animal numbers that proves the syndromes to be the same as in human medicine. It is clear that much research needs to be done. Diagnostic work up should be done meticulously, with emphasis on looking for intracranial disease. Treatment with phenobarbital is recommended to control the seizures, although the results will be variable.
对兽医来说，最令人沮丧的问题之一是患有反复出现的行为障碍且明显是癫痫发作障碍的动物。在大多数情况下，类似的人类疾病已被证明是由大脑中的器质性疾病引起的。兽医文献中有一些报告似乎支持相同的理论；然而，没有一项设计良好且有足够动物数量的研究能证明这些综合征与人类医学中的相同。显然，还有很多研究需要开展。诊断检查应细致进行，重点是寻找颅内疾病。尽管结果会因人而异，但建议使用苯巴比妥进行治疗以控制癫痫发作。
