Plan for article

Hello! I am a medical student who will be editing this wikipedia article for a class this month. Here is my plan for the article:

Lead section - minimal to no changes

Manifestation - add symptoms and presentation of disease. Will format instead as seizure type.

Prognosis - minimal to no changes

Treatment - update treatments to include both new medications as well as potential surgery and other options.

References - update data and new references from secondary and tertiary sources

+ new section about pathogenesis and risk factors

+ new section about diagnosis and work up

+ new section about epidemiology

+ new section of potential complications Ibucci2 (talk) 20:33, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Completed my plan for articles. In the future, could add a signs and symptoms section. Ibucci2 (talk) 19:03, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
