Abstract:
Acute traumatic brain injury causes a cascade of changes in brain metabolism, blood flow, and homeostasis that are challenges to survival. Seizures, whether focal or convulsive, may be a manifestation of the acute injury response and are liable to complicate management. This article discusses mechanisms and biochemical effects of brain injury, cellular mechanisms of epileptogenesis, genetic factors, prevention and prophylaxis, alteration of brain injury responses, and recommendations for management.

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
