Diagnosing and treating a patient following a single unprovoked seizure is complex. A comprehensive history is essential to distinguish true epileptic seizures from mimics and to confirm whether the episode is indeed the first. Patients without identifiable risk factors have a low likelihood of developing epilepsy, and in cases with mild risks, such as incidental imaging findings, deferring treatment until a second seizure may be appropriate. For those with a significant risk of recurrence, early diagnosis and initiation of anti-seizure medication (ASM) may be warranted.
