In some cases, however, when medications are ineffective, a neurologist may choose to operate on the patient in order to remove the focal area of the brain in which the seizures are occurring. Other treatments that can be administered to aid in reducing the occurrence of seizures include the implementation of a specific, regimented diet and/or the implantation of a vagus nerve stimulator, or deep brain stimulation (DBS). Medications
Anticonvulsants like oxcarbazepine or other drugs are the most successful medication in reducing and preventing frontal lobe seizures. Oxcarbazepine helps in the reduction of seizure frequencies. There are a wide range of anticonvulsants that have both different modes of action and different abilities in preventing certain types of seizures. Some of the anticonvulsants that are prescribed to patients today include: Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal), Carbamazepine (Tegretol), Phenytoin (Dilantin Kapseals), Gabapentin (Neurontin), Levetiracetam (Keppra), Lamotrigine (Lamictal), Topiramate (Topamax), Tiagabine (Gabitril), Zonisamide (Zonegran) and Pregabalin (Lyrica). KCNT1 pathogenic variant associated ADNFLE can be managed by treatment with quinidine, and ADNFLE associated with CHRNA4 shows better responsiveness to zonisamide. Note on medications
Lorazepam, diazepam and clonazepam are front line treatments for severe convulsions, belonging to the benzodiazepine class of medications. Alternative medicine
Herbal medicines
Acupuncture
Psychotherapy
Mind–body interventions

Surgical treatment
Surgery may involve the following:
Isolating the focal point. Responding to a seizure. Removing the focal point.When both the amount and severity of seizures becomes uncontrollable and seizures remain resistant to the various anticonvulsants, a patient most likely will be considered for epilepsy surgery.
Crome syndrome is a rare disease defined by various symptoms, including epilepsy, intellectual disability, eye and kidney problems. It usually causes death in 4 to 8 months. History
In 1963, a doctor studied two female infants who showed symptoms of intellectual disability, congenital cataracts, epileptic seizures and small stature. The two girls died at the age of 4 and 8 months. The autopsy revealed renal tubular necrosis and encephalopathy. References
