Epilepsy Epilepsy I decided to create a web page on epilepsy because I am am currently in a practicum setting in which all of the students have epilepsy. However, none of the students have had seizures in my presence. In fact, I have never been in the presence of someone having a seizure. By creating a web page on epilepsy, I hoped to help myself and others become more knowledgeable about epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a variety of disorders that is characterized by seizures.
A seizure is a combination of behaviors that occur when there is abnormal neurochemical activity in the brain. Anyone can get epilepsy. Race, age, and gender do not matter. Brain Tumors Poisoning - Lead and alcohol poising are the two poisonings known to cause epilepsy. Infections - Infections, such as meningitis, viral encephalitis, and lupus can cause epilepsy.
