Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) is a condition in which a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures, causing brain damage. To minimize aftereffects, prompt emergency response is most important, under the principle that 'time is brain.' The risk of stroke is especially high in winter and during seasonal changes, so please follow the prevention guidelines carefully.2026-06-26

Epilepsy is a condition in which seizures occur repeatedly because of abnormal electrical signals in the brain. In Korean it used to be called 'ganjil,' but the name was changed to 'noejeonjeung' in 2012. Epilepsy is not a single disease but a group of conditions that arise from various causes. If you suspect symptoms, please be sure to consult a neurology specialist.2026-06-26
