Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness.
Most common diseases
Stroke
Our primary aim was to evaluate whether early EEG abnormalities can predict poststroke epilepsy. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Patients with a history of epilepsy before the stroke (n 19) or who died in the first day after the stroke (n 17) were excluded from these analyses. [doi.org]
The primary outcome was the occurrence of at least one unprovoked seizure (poststroke epilepsy). [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Subdural Hematoma
CONCLUSIONS: In case of refractory treatment of epilepsy, dislocation of pacemaker electrodes is a, most certainly, rare but possible differential diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Medial Sclerosis
Mesial temporal sclerosis can cause a type of epilepsy called temporal lobe epilepsy. [inova.org]
In the majority of cases, there may be no cause that can be discovered for epilepsy. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
Epilepsy associated tumours All brain tumors may present with epilepsy, but there are some typically epilepsy associated tumors. [radiologyassistant.nl]
