In focal epilepsy, epileptiform activity starts in a specific area of brain. It can further spread and cause secondary generalized seizure.In generalized epilepsy seizures occur in both cerebral hemispheres simultaneously or spread so fast from one to another that in EEG,we can see bilateral epileptiform activity from the start. In the majority of patients with epilepsy, seizures can be well controlled with appropriate medication. However, current estimates indicate that 20 - 30% of patients with epilepsy are refractory to all forms of medical therapy. These medically intractable patients are candidates for surgical treatment in an attempt to achieve better seizure control. There are many kinds of seizures, but all involve abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes an involuntary change in body Epilepsy is a broad term used for a brain disorder that causes seizures.

There are many different types of epileptic seizures, each with unique symptoms, and each demanding its own treatment The term epileptic encephalopathy describes a heterogeneous group of epilepsy syndromes associated with severe cognitive and behavioral disturbances. These disorders vary in their age of onset, developmental outcome, etiologies, neuropsychological deficits, electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns, seizure types, and prognosis, but all may have be treated. EEG should not be routinely performed after a first afebrile seizure. Seizures should be treated immediately in the following situations (see flowchart below).

Nonaccidental brain injury, often underrecognized, is a relatively rare cause of symptomatic epilepsy in children. These results represent a potentially novel therapeutic target for the treatment of seizure disorders, and they show the need to better understand the physiology underlying these neural and brain circuit changes. Proteins are the workhorses of living cells, and their activities are tightly and rapidly regulated in responses to changing conditions.

About half of epileptic seizures have an Epilepsy is the most common chronic brain condition with epileptiform neuronal discharg es, characterized recurrent unproved seizures with at least two and at least 24 hrs apart. Epileptiform patterns in electroencephalogram (EEG) should confirm the diagnosis. It is the Seizures/epilepsy. Begins as a partial seizure then spreads to both hemispheres. May begin with motor, sensory, autonomic, psychic, before evolving to generalized seizure. Tonic- muscle stiffen arms, legs, chest back appears cyanotic.

Epilepsy in the elderly is frequently associated with progressive neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer s disease (AD). A person with dementia has a 5 to 10 times higher incidence of seizures compared to an elderly person without dementia. 1 An estimated 10% to 22% of patients with AD dementia have at least 1 unprovoked seizure in their lifetime. 2 Causes of Epilepsy. Epilepsy, seizures or fits occur due to a disturbed brain function. This arises due to different causes which varies from person to person.
