The diagnosis and management of seizures in the cat require an understanding of the more common diseases that predispose to feline epilepsy. Feline seizures may occur secondary to intracranial or extracranial disease. Intracranial causes include inflammatory, neoplastic, vascular, and traumatic disorders. Extracranial causes include various metabolic and toxic insults. Previous brain insults that are no longer active may leave "seizure foci." Idiopathic epilepsy is uncommon in the cat relative to the dog but should be considered if no cause can be found. Regardless of the etiology, ictal events in cats can manifest themselves in multiple forms and levels of severity. Therapy should be directed at controlling seizure frequency and treating the underlying cause. An aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to feline epilepsy may improve prognosis and lead to a favorable outcome.
猫癫痫发作的诊断与管理需要了解更常见的易引发猫癫痫的疾病。猫癫痫发作可能继发于颅内或颅外疾病。颅内病因包括炎症性、肿瘤性、血管性和创伤性疾病。颅外病因包括各种代谢和中毒性损害。既往不再活跃的脑部损伤可能会留下“癫痫病灶”。相对于犬，特发性癫痫在猫中并不常见，但如果找不到病因则应予以考虑。无论病因如何，猫的发作事件可表现为多种形式和严重程度。治疗应针对控制癫痫发作频率并治疗潜在病因。对猫癫痫采取积极的诊断和治疗方法可能会改善预后并带来良好的结果。
