What is 20.Convulsive disorders

Convulsive disorders (Epilepsy) are a group of brain disorders characterized by a tendency for recurrent seizures (convulsions), over time. Seizures are episodes of disturbed brain activity that cause changes in attention or behavior. When a person has two or more unprovoked seizures, they are considered to have epilepsy. A single seizure that does not happen again is not epilepsy.

Convulsions in small children : In infants between the ages of one month and one year convulsions are usually, associated with fever. If there is no fever, epilepsy should be considered, which is more prolonged and requires long term treatment, as compared to convulsions associated with fever which usually, stops by 5-6 years.
