Seizures – A Serious Symptom of Brain Damage

While there may be numerous indications of brain damage in patients who have sustained a traumatic brain injury, the manifestation of seizures after an accident in a person who has not previously experienced such a condition is a sign of brain damage.  Given the debilitating nature of epilepsy, much research is currently being conducted to produce better and more efficient drugs.

It is important for victims and loved ones to understand the classification of symptoms in relation to brain injuries.  “Immediate” (aka Impact) symptoms are felt at the time of the accident or blow to the head.  “Early” symptoms are experienced within a few days to weeks, and “Late” symptoms are felt within months to years of the injury.
