Dr. Philip Chao answered

Specializes in Radiology

Adrenal gland is not: Usually the cause of seizures. It is an endocrine gland which secretes hormones. In general unless the hormones cause a severe electroplyte imbalance it is not likely to cause a seizure? Why are you asking about it? Do you have a personal physician to answer your questions. You should be seeing a neurologist.
