At Prime Medical Associates, Dr. Arun Rajan is a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurologist who specializes in treating epilepsy. He sees children and adults from 9 years old and up. A neurologist diagnoses and treats disorders of the nervous system: the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Epilepsy is a disorder that is caused by a surge of abnormal nerve signals in the brain. Repeated seizures are the main symptom of epilepsy. There are several different types of seizures. In many cases, the cause of epilepsy is unknown. Epilepsy can run in families and may occur as a result of a genetic disorder or an acquired brain injury, such as a trauma or stroke. Treatment for epilepsy involves medications, dietary changes, surgical procedures, or a combination of treatments to reduce and prevent seizures. With treatment, some people can become seizure-free.
