What is Epilepsy?

It is characterized by recurrent seizures, which are brief episodes of involuntary movement that may involve a part of the body (partial) or the entire body (generalized) and are sometimes accompanied by loss of consciousness and control of bowel or bladder function.

  • Falling suddenly for no apparent reason, especially when associated with loss of consciousness.
  • Difficulty learning.
  • Side effects of medicines.
  • Permanent brain damage (stroke or other damage)
  • Breathing in food or saliva into the lungs during a seizure, which can cause aspiration pneumonia.
  • Injury from falls, bumps, self-inflicted bites, driving or operating machinery during a seizure.

There are many possible causes of epilepsy, including an imbalance of nerve-signaling chemicals called neurotransmitters, tumors, strokes, and brain damage from illness or injury, or some combination of these. In the majority of cases, there may be no detectable cause for epilepsy.

  • Family history.
  • Head injuries.
  • Stroke and other vascular diseases.
  • Dementia.
  • Brain infections.
  • Seizures in childho
  • Age. The onset of epilepsy is most common in children and older adults, but the condition can occur at any age.

An estimated 25% of epilepsy cases are potentially preventable. Preventing head injury, for example by reducing falls, traffic accidents and sports injuries, is the most effective way to prevent post-traumatic epilepsy. Adequate perinatal care can reduce new cases of epilepsy caused by birth injury.
