 MEDICINE CASES : Name: K. Medha Reddy  Roll no. 51  Case 1: What is a seizure? Cells in the brain send electrical signals to one another. The electrical signals pass along your nerves to all parts of the body. A sudden abnormal burst of electrical activity in the brain can lead to the signals to the nerves being disrupted, causing a seizure. This electrical disturbance can happen because of stroke damage in the brain.

Some people will have repeated seizures, and be diagnosed with epilepsy. The chances of this happening may depend
