Want this question answered?
my daughter, at 13 years old had cavernous angioma and had it removed by surgery. A year later , she has been experiencing headaches and sensations in her head that are scaring her. Is this normal even though the angioma was removed and the scar tissue should have healed by now? Could she just be prone to headaches, or is it some form of a seizure? Thanks, sue
Anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime. Epilepsy is not really defined by the type of seizure, but how many someone has. If someone has recurring seizures, then they are diagnosed as having epilepsy. So someone could have one seizure in their life, which is the same kind as someone who has lots of them, but only the person that has lots of them would be said to have epilepsy. Some people who have epilepsy get lots of seizures that are all very minor. Another person could have one seizure in their life that is really bad, and never have another one. So although their seizure might be far worse than any the other person that has lots of minor ones has, it is the person that has lots of seizures that is diagnosed with epilepsy, not the person that may have one really bad one.Anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime.

Yes, definately. One seizure does NOT mean you have epilepsy, but you should see a doctor immediately.

Epilepsy is itself a medical term. Epilepsy has many forms, so there are many individual types of epilepsy. Epilepsy is defined as the tendency to have recurring seizures. A seizure is not epilpesy. It is a symptom of epilepsy.
The immediate complication of epilepsy is simply the risk of getting a seizure :-)
Epilepsy is the tendency to have recurring seizures. If someone has one seizure and then never has one again, which can happen, they would not be said to have epilepsy. So it is people that keep having seizures that would be said to have epilepsy.
An absence seizure or a petit mal.
Well, you get seizures. I guess that is the "effect". That is what happens when something triggers the epilepsy, you get a seizure.
I have epilepsy and i abously hate it.
