Suggest Treatment For Memory Loss, Disorientation And Seizures
My uncle is suffering from memory loss, disorientation and seizures. Currently he is in ICU and unresponsive for more than a week. He was confused and behaving strangely and completely dependent to do anything before admitted. Everything happened so suddenly. Doctors are doing their best. but he is inactive and on anti seizure drugs. Doctors are saying that there is no hope for recovery. Looking at the symptoms it seems like he has some type of Encephalopathy. Is it curable? what shall we do next as doctors are saying what is happening with him is mystery and couldn t find the root cause of all these problems.

HI
Well come to HCM
If your uncle is in comatose condition so this need to be seen clinically, all the test need to be red carefully for diagnosis and prognosis, if this is viral encephalopathy then prognosis would be poor, still vital organs are intact then chances of recovery is good, patient's age is matter here, (You have not mentioned the age ). hope this information helps, take care.
