  One of the most important tools of diagnosing epilepsy is an eyewitness account - a good description of the event(s) or symptoms.
  As part of diagnosis, the doctor will do routine physical and neurological examinations which may include blood tests. If epilepsy is suspected, there are several tests that may help to diagnose the condition and possibly establish a cause. The most common of these tests include:
  

  • EEG
    
  • Video EEG telemetry
    
  • MRI
    

  Not everyone with epilepsy needs every test. In some cases, all or many tests for epilepsy can return normal.
