A member asked:
Can seizures kill your brain structures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!!: Seizures are a reaction of irritated cells of the brain. When these cells seize their need for oxygen and glucose goes way up. If given good support they recover nicely. If poorly managed, damage can occur. Many epilepsy patients suffer repeated seizures but are entirely normal between seizures.
