Are seizures a sign of cerebral palsy?
Seizures in most of the cases are not a sign of cerebral palsy. Most of the patients, who get seizures before attaining the adulthood are idiopathic. That is due to no known cause. When seizures start after thirty years of age, they may be due to some neoplasm in the brain. You have to go for CAT scan in such cases.
Does a person having seizure respond to question?
That depends. Generally when a person has a seizure it tends to be a Grand Mal seizure which is the total loss of muscle function, which means they also lose control of their vocal chords and the muscles that control them. Some people have partial seizures that only affect one or more parts of their body and they are very responsive. However there are other types of partial seizures called Complex Parial seizures that do affect the brain but don't cause the twitching that you see in most seizures, but they are totally unresponsive. Those are the most common, but there are many other types of seizures that are not very common. I hope that answers your question!
