Hi,
epilepsy is a general term for the tendency to have seizures.
Typically, the known causes of seizure involve some injury to the brain. Some of the main causes of epilepsy include:
low oxygen during birth
head injuries that occur during birth or from accidents during youth or adulthood
brain tumors
genetic conditions that result in brain injury, such as tuberous sclerosis
infections such as meningitis or encephalitis
stroke or any other type of damage to the brain
abnormal levels of substances such as sodium or blood sugar
in up to 70% of all case of epilepsy in adults and children, no cause can be discovered.
