Can a seizure cause brain damage and stuttering?
I suppose that could happen, or brain damage could cause the seizure. Find out more about stuttering on the web site for The Stuttering Foundation.
Can epilepsy cause brain damage?
The question here was "CAN epilepsy cause brain damage?" The answer is an unequivocal, "YES, it can" Frequent and/or prolonged seizures can indeed cause brain damage. However, most people that have Epilepsy are properly diagnosed, treated and monitored, so medication can assist them to live normal lives and reduce this risk. Often someone who has Epilepsy has it as a result of damage to the brain, like a traumatic head injury in something like a car accident. Unfortunately, undiagnosed or untreated epilepsy -- or poor compliance with medications and treatments --- can trigger a seizure which could cause a car accident. For that reason, anyone who has had a seizure must surrender their driver's licence until it no longer presents as a hazard. There are specific guidelines available from the State or Provincial Departments of Transport in your area.
What is the Primary etiology of seizure?
Primary etiology of seizure is any form of brain injury. When the electrical impulses escape their limit in the brain, this will cause seizure.
How do you know when a seizure can be fatal?
Status Epilepticus - The term given to multiple seizures with little or no break between each one. A seizure is normally not fatal but in this case the brain is deprived of oxygen for too long and this can result in a stroke, irreparable brain damage and even death.
So my friends told me to crouch down and breathe hard then get up and blow with my thumb as hard as i could and i would pass out I did it and had a seizure on the floor for eight secs. brain damage?
It may have looked like a seizure, but you were just slipping in and out of consciousness and kinda twitching while you do it, haha. But you shouldnt have damage, unless you hit your head on the floor or something. It takes 3-5mins of no oxygen to the brain to get any damage.
How can seizures cause coma?
During a seizure a person can lose consciousness. If they had a really bad seizure, they could be unconscious for a long time. If they had some damage to their brain, which may be causing their epilepsy in the first place or was caused during a seizure from the intensity of the seizure or the person falling and hitting their head, they could remain unconscious for a longer time and be in a coma. For the vast majority of people with epilepsy, there is only a temporary loss of conciousness when they have a seizure, if any at all, after which they quickly recover.
What is the difference between brain damage and brain injury?
The difference is that one can have a brain injury and not have brain damage. Essentially, brain damage is caused by injury or trauma to the brain. However, not every injury to the brain will cause brain damage.

Can a seizure cause a T.I.A.?
A seizure is caused by excessive electrical activity in the brain. A transient ischaemic attack is due to a problem in the blood supply to the brain. They are two very different kinds of problems. A seizure would not cause a problem in the blood supply to the brain and so it would not cause a TIA.
Can a doctor tell if you have had a seizure in a ct scan?
No. A seizure is a functional result of brain activity. CT scans look at the structure of the brain - what does it look like, rather than what is it doing.
