What causes seizures in children at the age of 21 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Seizures in children can be caused by fever, by genetic causes of epilepsy, by metabolic derangements during illness, and by structural lesions in the brain. Therefore a full workup is indicated in any child who has a first seizure.
