What else can I help you with?
Can cervical cancer cause seizures?
A variety of brain cancers can cause seizures.
Can brain biopsy cause seizures?
The resulting scar, left on the brain has the potential to trigger seizures
Can you get seizures even if you don't have a history of seizures?
Yes. If you have a brain tumor you may not know it. A brain tumor can cause a seizure.
How does lack of oxygen to the brain cause seizures?
When the brain is deprived of oxygen, it cannot function properly, leading to an imbalance in the electrical activity of the brain. This can trigger abnormal neuronal firing, resulting in seizures. Seizures are a sign of brain dysfunction and can occur as a response to the stress caused by lack of oxygen.
Can syncope cause seizures?
Syncope is a loss of consciousness or fainting, sometimes caused by lack of oxygen to the brain, but is different to Epilepsy. Seizures in Epilepsy are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. So Syncope would not be a cause of seizures.
What do visual seizures consist of?
Auditory seizures affect the part of the brain that controls hearing and cause the patient to imagine voices, music, and other sounds.
Can seizures cause strokes?
Seizures themselves do not cause strokes, but they can be a symptom of certain conditions that increase the risk of stroke, such as epilepsy or a brain tumor. Seizures can also occur after a stroke as a result of the brain damage caused by the stroke.
What is epilespy?
Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which a person has repeated seizures (convulsions) over time. Seizures are episodes of disturbed brain activity that cause changes in attention or behavior.
Where in the brain does epilepsy occur?
Epilepsy is located in the brain. It depends on which type of seizures you have and the cause as to where it is comming from. Focal (simple and complex partial) seizures come from a single area of the brain. Generalized seizures come from multiple areas of the brain.
Can atraumatic brain injury cause seizures?
Yes, atraumatic brain injury can lead to seizures due to disruptions in normal brain function following the injury. Seizures may occur immediately after the injury or develop weeks to months later. It is important for individuals with atraumatic brain injuries to receive proper medical evaluation and management to address any potential seizure activity.
Can lack of blood flow to the brain cause seizure activity?
Lack of blood can indeed cause seizures.
Can a fall injury cause seizures?
Seizures are caused by unusual electrical activity in the brain. A back injury would not directly cause that to happen. It is possible that someone with a back injury could also happen to have seizures. If seizures started around the same time as the back injury, then it would be important to know how the back injury was caused and if something else could have happened at the time which led to the start of seizures. Only a doctor that could examine the person could establish if there is any connection.
