Seizures are a dramatic manifestation of a serious disturbance in brain activity. A diverse variety of conditions and disorders can precipitate seizure activity in adults. Brain injury, brain swelling and increased pressure on the brain as well as chemical imbalances are common causes of adult seizure activity.
Absence seizures are seen mostly under the age of 20, usually in children aged 6-12 years. It can present in older teens and adults, but the incidence is very low. No underlying cause can be identified in most cases of absence seizures. There may be a genetic predisposition in many children. In some patients, the seizures may be triggered by flashing lights or when the person breathes faster than usual (hyperventilates).
