A member asked:

Wife had 2 grand mal siezure when she was 12 non since but is on medicine but still no one knew what caused any ideas what might have caused

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Childhood seizrue: Fevers or infections can cause seizures at that age. It is a common time for generalized seizures to start but most of the time kids will outgrow these seizures. It is probably worth going to see a neurologist to see if your wife still needs to take medicines for her seizures.
