Epilepsy

Epilepsy a chronic condition is a disorder of the central nervous system in which regular seizures occur. Brain activity is irregular in epilepsy, leading to repeated seizures, erratic behaviour, loss of consciousness and sensations. Regardless of gender, race, and age, epilepsy can happen to anyone.

Seizures are a significant symptom of epilepsy. Two types of seizures are primarily present: focal seizures and generalised seizures. The other signs include a person's sudden fall without any  reason. Epilepsy is caused by genetic or environmental causes. The causes of acquired epilepsy include stroke, cancers, brain damage and brain infection. The genetic cause of epilepsy is more common in young people, and brain tumours and strokes are more prevalent in older people. The precise cause of most cases of epilepsy is unclear. An electroencephalogram, computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and neuroimaging can be used to observe epilepsy. To recognise the disorders in the brain during a seizure and to look at the minute changes in the structure of the brain, these techniques may provide a clearer view.
