Shabnam SheikhMom of 2 children3 years agoA. hi ..Certain children develop epilepsy due to genetic reasons. However, the exact cause of seizures due to genes is not known as yet.
Head injuries may result in seizures.
Conditions that may cause damage to the brain, like some fevers, brain tumours and infection may also result in epilepsy.
Some developmental disorders like Angelman’s syndrome, neurofibromatosis, Down syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis may also raise the possibility of epilepsy.
Changes in the brain structure are the cause of epilepsy in about three to ten percent of the cases. Children born with such structural changes may develop epilepsy.
Children with autism may also experience epilepsy seizures in three to ten per cent of the cases.
Congenital disorders and chemical imbalances in the body may also cause seizures in infants.
