AB A  seizure  is  a  brief  episode  of  abnormal,  excessive,  synchronous,  cerebral  neuronal  activity  that  results  in  an  alteration  of  motor  function,  sensation,  behavior,  or  consciousness.  Epilepsy  is  a  syndrome  of  recurrent  seizures  without  an  underlying  etiology.  Seizures  occur  more  frequently  in  children  and  in  the  elderly.  There  is  a  5%–10%  incidence  of  seizure  activity  by  the  age  of  80  and  if  you  have  a  single  seizure,  your  chance  of  having  another  is  40%–50%.
