Epilepsy syndromesBenign rolandic
epilepsy – affects 15 % of
children with epilepsy it can start at any time between the age of 3 to 10 yrs Childhood absence epilepsyJuvenile myoclonic epilepsyInfantile spasmsLennox – gastaut disease The underlying mechanism of epileptic
seizures is excessive and abnormal neuronal activity in the cortex of the brain. The reason this occurs in most cases of
epilepsy is unknown.Some cases occur as the result of
brain injury, stroke,
brain tumors, infections of the brain, or birth defects through a process known as epileptogenesis. Known genetic
mutations are directly linked to a small proportion of cases. The diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions that might cause similar symptoms, such as fainting, and determining if another cause of
seizures is present, such as
alcohol withdrawal or electrolyte problems
