Study Of Epilepsy In Children With Cerebral Palsy

The aim of this work is to study the occurrence, associated factors, nature and prognosis of seizures in children with cerebral palsy.Epilepsy is a chronic disorder, or group of chronic disorders, in which the indispensable feature is recurrence of seizures that are typically unprovoked and usually unpredictable. Epilepsy is considered to be present when two or more unprovoked Seizures occur at an interval greater than 24hr apart.Although Seizures are the cardinal manifestation of epilepsy, not all seizures imply epilepsy.CP describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, and behaviour, by epilepsy, and by secondary musculoskeletal problems.
