Seizures Causes
Causes of provoked seizures include: dehydration, sleep deprivation, cavernoma or cavernous malformation is a treatable medical condition that can cause seizures, headaches, and brain hemorrhages. An MRI can quickly confirm or reject this as a cause. arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a treatable medical condition that can cause seizures, headaches, and brain hemorrhages. head injury may cause non-epileptic post-traumatic seizures or post-traumatic epilepsy, in which the seizures chronically recur. intoxication with drugs, for example aminophylline or local anaesthetics, normal doses of certain drugs that lower the seizure threshold, such as tricyclic antidepressants infection, such as encephalitis or meningitis fever leading to febrile convulsions, metabolic disturbances, such as hypoglycaemia, hyponatremia or hypoxia, withdrawal from drugs (anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and sedatives such as alcohol, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines,) space-occupying lesions in the brain (abscesses, tumors), seizures during (or shortly after) pregnancy can be a sign of eclampsia. seizures in a person with hydrocephalus may indicate severe shunt failure. binaural beat brainwave entrainment may trigger seizures in both epileptics and non-epileptics, haemorrhagic stroke can occasionally present with seizures, embolic strokes generally do not (though epilepsy is a common later complication); cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a rare type of stroke, is more likely to be accompanied by seizures than other types of stroke, multiple sclerosis sufferers may rarely experience seizures, parasitic infection such as cerebral malaria.
