What is Epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by epileptic seizures.Epileptic seizures are episodes that can vary from brief and nearly undetectable to long periods of vigorous shaking. These episodes can result in physical injuries including occasionally broken bones.in epilepsy, seizures tend to recur and as a rule, have no immediate underlying cause.[1]
Epilepsy's harm：
As of 2015 about 39 million people have epilepsy.Nearly 80% of cases occur in the developing world. In 2015 it resulted in 125,000 deaths up from 112,000 deaths in 1990. Epilepsy is more common in older people. In the developed world, onset of new cases occurs most frequently in babies and the elderly.In the developing world onset is more common in older children and young adults, due to differences in the frequency of the underlying causes. About 5–10% of people will have an unprovoked seizure by the age of 80,and the chance of experiencing a second seizure is between 40 and 50%. In many areas of the world those with epilepsy either have restrictions placed on their ability to drive or are not permitted to drive until they are free of seizures for a specific length of time.[1]
Classification：
The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) provided a classification of the epilepsies and epileptic syndromes in 1989 as follows:
Localization-related epilepsies and syndromes
Unknown cause (e.g. benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes)
Symptomatic/cryptogenic (e.g. temporal lobe epilepsy)
Generalized
Unknown cause (e.g. childhood absence epilepsy)
Cryptogenic or symptomatic (e.g. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome)
Symptomatic (e.g. early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with burst suppression)
Epilepsies and syndromes undetermined whether focal or generalized
With both generalized and focal seizures (e.g. epilepsy with continuous spike-waves during slow wave sleep)
Special syndromes (with situation-related seizures)
