The Impact of Injuries on Patients with Epilepsy - Neurology & Neuroscience

 

Epilepsy  is  a  disease characterized by seizures, due to  abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain. Approximately 50 million people worldwide have some form of epilepsy. The  estimated incidence of epilepsy was 2.4 million people. In high-income countries, annual new cases are between 30 and 50 per 100000 people in the general population. Some studies in low-  and  middle-income countries suggest that the proportion is much higher, between 7 and  14  per 1000  people. Close to 80% of people with epilepsy live in low- and middle-income countries, making it  one of the most common neurological diseases globally [1].
