Spinal cord seizures are infrequently reported, although not unheard of. Anything that interrupts the normal connections between the brain’s nerve cells can cause a seizure. Common causes of seizures include epilepsy, high fevers, high or low blood sugar, drug or alcohol withdrawal, or concussions.
Victims of spinal cord injuries may simultaneously sustain a concussion, which can trigger seizures. If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, be sure to tell both your doctor and lawyer of any other injuries you sustained in the accident.
