Causes of Epilepsy. There are around 180,000 new cases of epilepsy each year. About 30% occur in children. Children and elderly adults are the ones most often affected. There is a clear cause for epilepsy in only a minority of the cases. Typically, the known causes of seizure involve some injury to the brain. Some of the main causes of epilepsy include: 1  Low oxygen during birth.
1 Some young children may be born with a structural change in an area of the brain that gives rise to seizures. 2  About 3 out of 10 children with autism spectrum disorder may also have seizures. 3  The exact cause and relationship is still not clear. 4  Infections of the brain are also common causes of epilepsy.
