Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a chronic internal neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain as a result of the disturbance of electrical signals in the brain cells. It is a very common disease with 50 million people around the world. 80% of the cases are concentrated in the middle and lower income regions. Epilepsy is the most common neurological disease.
Symptoms of epilepsy
The most common symptom of the disease is the bout of cramping that affects the body by order of the brain after the brain is ready to produce electrical overloads and sudden disruption of other functions of the brain, and that one bout of spasm does not necessarily mean a person with an epileptic seizure, as one spasm may be due to high degree fever, head injury, or lack of oxygen in the brain or for any other reason.
Types of epilepsy
- General or total epilepsy: It affects all parts of the brain and is the most dangerous, causing frequent and severe neurological cramps that damage the brain, accounting for 30% of cases of epilepsy.
- Partial epilepsy: It is concentrated in a specific area of the brain. Symptoms vary from person to another according to the affected part of the brain. Sometimes partial epilepsy is difficult to detect. Sometimes, it turns into a general epilepsy. The electrical signals that infect a part of the brain spread to the rest of the brain in 70% of cases.
Causes of epilepsy
- Genetics: The genetic factor plays a major role in people with epilepsy.
- Infection: Head injury may cause brain injury epilepsy. Some studies have shown that 17% of cases of epilepsy have been affected by the head, and it is possible that the infection among children, especially newborns, where they are more likely to fall and may be a fall on the brain without that the patient knows.
Treatment of epilepsy
There is a treatment for epilepsy through anticonvulsants and some epilepsy. Doctors resort to surgery due to frequent spasmodic seizures and non-drug-response cases. The World Health Organization (WHO) has shown that 70% of cases respond to treatment.
