Basic Primary Epilepsy Diagnosis Program at Beta Clinic Bonn

The Basic Primary Epilepsy Diagnosis Program at Beta Clinic Bonn (Beta International Epilepsy Centre) is designed as a structured first-line work-up to confirm whether your episodes are epileptic seizures or a seizure-related mimic (e. g. , syncope or other seizure-like disorders), and to define the exact epilepsy type and drivers so a targeted treatment strategy can be built. The evaluation centers on detailed seizure descriptions, careful differential diagnosis, and a full review of epilepsy and medication history (including anti-epileptic drug levels where relevant), with the goal of clarifying etiology, including genetic and autoimmune causes when indicated. Diagnostics are supported by the clinic’s advanced neurodiagnostic infrastructure, including brain assessment with a 3 Tesla MRI to identify structural cortical changes that may explain seizures, as well as short EEG strategies. Findings are then integrated by the epilepsy specialists into an individualized next-step plan, ranging from optimized medical therapy treatment to further in-depth testing if needed.
