Evaluation of first nonfebrile seizures.

Summary
Treatment with an antiepileptic drug after a first seizure does not prevent epilepsy in the long term, but it decreases the short-term likelihood of a second seizure, so patients with persistent decreased mental status or a new focal neurologic abnormality should be treated.
