Epilepsy
Description
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. Epilepsy occurs when permanent changes in brain tissue cause the brain to be too excitable or jumpy. Epilepsy may be due to a medical condition or injury that affects the brain, or the cause may be unknown (idiopathic).
