Definition:
Epilepsy in children refers to the random seizures experienced by children from time to time. These seizures are caused by abnormal neurological transmissions that occur in the brain. They can be mild or cause violence not just to the child but as well as his immediate surroundings. Children with congenital neurological damages are affected by epilepsy, and attacks can be triggered by sudden burst of emotions. Epilepsy can lead to more severe problems including death when not managed.
