“What causes a child to develop epilepsy?”
My 4 year old son was diagnosed with epilepsy. What causes a child to develop epilepsy?
1 Answer
Some children may develop epilepsy from brain damage during birth if there were any complications. Others may develop it from head injuries or infections like meningitis. Tumors can also cause seizures. Many cases of epilepsy in kids are genetic in origin as well. Please discuss this with your child's doctor or see a pediatric neurologist for more details.
