Angioma caused seizures for 3 years...anyone else?
Fri, 07/18/2014 - 00:01Just wanted to see if anyone else has the same root cause for seizures that I do - cavernous angiomas. Seizures started off as a few pretty intense grand mal's 3 yrs ago and are now auras that can occur multiple times a day or disapear for a few weeks. Just curious if any of these ring true to anyone else - I'd love to hear anyone's story, and make sure I'm not the only one! Thank you
If you research cavernous

If you research cavernous angiomas yo would see that those ar in or on the brain. So if seizures are caused by an electrical impulse going off in the brain causing a chain reaction. With me while I do not have cavernous angiomas my epilepsy is caused by scared brain tissue. My brain is fine everything is there and it works. The scar tissue is causing electrical impulses to go off wrong in my brain. If your cavernous angiomas is in or on your brain then it might cause electrical impulses to go off wrong in your brain and by doing that you can have a seizure. This is what I believe and I do know what caused my epilepsy and causes my seizures. I am not a doctor. If I were you I would be calling my neurologist and varyfing th cause of your grand mal seizures. Generally pepole who get auras use them because they are warnings that a larger seizure might be comming. I had them a few times but I have not had any in years. I hope this helps and you get answers to your questionsJoe
