Question
A one-year-old baby has experienced seizures, accompanied by vomiting white froth and eyelid reversal, and has undergone a brain CT scan. If the CT results show everything is normal, what could be the possible causes?
Answer
At one year of age, a baby’s central nervous system is not fully matured, so it may trigger seizures when exposed to certain stimuli. Common causes of seizures include febrile seizures, afebrile seizures, the possibility of epilepsy, or the risk of post-traumatic sequelae from brain injury. Additionally, it could be caused by conditions within the brain, such as tumors or other brain damage.
