Description
Summary:Epilepsy is one of the most common heterogeneous neurological disorders characterized by spontaneous, recurrent and unprovoked seizures with prevalence of 4.57/1,000 world population. Multiple different health hazards can cause seizures for example brain tumors, either benign or malignant, brain trauma, autoimmune irregularities, infection, congenital lesion, neurological diseases such as stroke, and Alzheimer's. The rest of the cases are considered to be idiopathic, that is, with no evident cause other than a presumed genetic basis. Seizures may be generalized, involving both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously from the onset of seizure and can happen without warning, or partial (focal), in which the abnormal electrical discharges start in a localized area of the brain and restricted to one area of the brain. The symptoms/signs are dependent on the part of the brain that is affected.
