RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 New-onset epilepsy in the elderly: Challenges for the internist JF Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO Cleve Clin J Med FD Cleveland Clinic SP 490 OP 498 DO 10.3949/ccjm.81a.13148 VO 81 IS 8 A1 Sayantani Ghosh A1 Lara E. Jehi YR 2014 UL http://www.ccjm.org/content/81/8/490.abstract AB New-onset epilepsy in the elderly is difficult to diagnose, owing to atypical presentation, concomitant cognitive impairment, similarities with other common disorders, and nonspecific changes on electroencephalography (EEG). Its management is also challenging because of its deranging physiology, comorbidities, and polypharmacy. Antiepileptic drugs must be carefully chosen and closely monitored. Support of the patient and caregiver is key.
