Can a patient have both intractable epilepsy and epilepsy?
The word intractable means hard to control. It can be used in relation to many things. Lots of things can be intractable. So intractable epilepsy is when someone's epilepsy is quite serious, difficult to control and as a result has a major impact on their lives. It is not a form of epilepsy, just a general description as to how serious a person's epilepsy has become. As it is a general term there is no specific point of measurement to say when someone has intractable epilepsy. The majority of people with epilepsy lead very normal lives. They only have seizures occasionally and most of the time they are fine and people that know them might not even know they have epilepsy. Only a very small amount of people have it to the extent that it could be said to be intractable.
