Epilepsy is any of various neurological disorders characterized by sudden, recurring attacks of motor, sensory, or psychic malfunction with or without loss of consciousness or convulsive seizures. It could be divided into subcategories due to the international classification of epileptic seizure and the complex partial seizure, that is one of epileptic seizure subcategories, is characterized by elaborate and multiple sensory, motor, and/or psychic components accompanying the clouding of consciousness, prodrome, automatism, postictal confusion.

We also diagnosed him as a ‘dianxian’ patient induced by sum deficiency of liver & kidney. This patient was treated by acupuncture to tonifying eum of liver & kidney and it achieved markedly improved symptoms.
