Seizure patterns usually reflect known functions of the involved areas of the brain. The causes of epilepsy vary with the age at onset. For the purposes of determining drug therapy, seizures are divided into three groups. Focal and tonic-clonic seizures respond to one group of drugs, and absence seizures respond to another group. Surgical therapy may be beneficial in some patients with medically intractable epilepsy.
癫痫发作模式通常反映了大脑受累区域的已知功能。癫痫的病因随发病年龄而异。为了确定药物治疗方案，癫痫发作可分为三组。局灶性发作和强直阵挛性发作对一组药物有反应，失神发作对另一组药物有反应。手术治疗可能对一些药物治疗难治性癫痫患者有益。
