In everyone's brain there is constant electrical activity happening. A seizure is caused when there is an abnormal pattern or disruption in this activity. You could almost say it is like an electrical storm in the brain. There are many reasons for this.

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.


What kind disability is epilepsy?

No. It is a condition where someone has a tendency to have seizures. Why this happens varies from person to person. There are many forms of Epilepsy and many causes. But it is not a disease. It is not infectious or anything like that.


How are brain impulses transmitted when seizure activity occurs?

During seizure activity, abnormal electrical impulses in the brain cause excessive, uncontrolled firing of neurons. This leads to a cascade of hyperexcitability spreading through the brain, resulting in seizures. The transmission of these electrical impulses can disrupt normal brain function and cause the characteristic symptoms of a seizure.


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.

Do you have an electrical storm inside of our brains when we are having a seizure?

That is a simple analogy or what is happening during a seizure. There is constant electrical activity in the brain. When it gets disrupted a bit, a person can have a seizure.


What is seizure from bang to head?

A seizure from a bang to the head typically refers to a seizure that occurs as a result of a traumatic brain injury, such as a concussion. The trauma can disrupt normal brain activity, leading to abnormal electrical discharges that manifest as a seizure. This type of seizure can occur immediately after the injury or may develop weeks or months later. It is important to seek medical attention if a seizure occurs following head trauma to assess potential underlying damage.


What is a anoxic seizure?

An anoxic seizure is a type of seizure that occurs due to a lack of oxygen (anoxia) reaching the brain. This condition can result from various factors, such as drowning, suffocation, or cardiac arrest, leading to brain dysfunction. During an anoxic seizure, a person may experience convulsions, loss of consciousness, and other symptoms typical of seizures. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to minimize brain damage and prevent further complications.
