Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epilepsy is diagnosed in patients who experience repeated, unprovoked seizures. A single seizure is not sufficient to diagnose epilepsy, and seizures related to a fever as a child are considered fever seizures or febrile seizures, not epilepsy. Seizures resulting from an inoperable tumor would not necessarily lead to an epilepsy diagnosis without evidence of repeated, unprovoked seizures.
