Epilepsy is a neurological and chronic disease, characterized by the manifestation of seizures. The person who suffers from this disease has a brain that is predisposed to generate seizures due to neurological disorders produced.
This disease generally strikes children under 10 years of age and adults over 60 years of age. However, there are several cases of young people between 17 and 25 years with epileptic seizures. There is no single cause that generates the appearance of this disease, of which the following stand out:
Heredity: There are some genes that are acquired by the descendants, which are responsible for the appearance of epilepsy. However, they are not very serious and with proper treatment the picture improves rapidly.
Congenital: In general, people who suffer from Down syndrome, vascular malformations, metabolic disorders and also those who have brain tumors, for these reasons epilepsy can develop.
