RESUMEN
La epilepsia idiopática (EI), así como otras enfermedades convulsivas representan al menos 14% de las consultas neurológicas
en la medicina veterinaria. A pesar de esto último, se reconoce que existe un vacío en la información que maneja el clínico
especialista en pequeñas especies porque aún no se han elucidado todos los aspectos patofi siológicos de ese padecimiento.
Debido a que no existe un método diagnóstico específi co, se llega a él por exclusión. Aunque el electroencefalograma (EEG)
brinda algunos elementos diagnósticos no siempre se tiene la fortuna de ubicar anormalidades en el registro. Las alternativas
terapéuticas farmacológicas son reducidas y no carentes de efectos adversos. Es mucha la posibilidad de encontrar EI refractaria
al tratamiento farmacológico y se ha concluido que deben evaluarse las alternativas de tratamiento no farmacológico mediante
estudios clínicos sistemáticos. El diagnóstico temprano, la instauración de un tratamiento farmacológico, la educación de los
propietarios de animales y la combinación con terapias no farmacológicas representan a la fecha la única forma de mejorar el
pronóstico de perros afectados con EI.
