Difference Between Seizures and Epilepsy | Dr. Pramod Krishnan | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

Are seizures and epilepsy the same? In this video, Dr. Pramod Krishnan, Consultant Neurologist and Epileptologist at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, explains the key differences between the two terms. A seizure is a single episode caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which may result from conditions within or outside the brain, such as low sodium or glucose levels. Epilepsy, on the other hand, refers to a condition where recurrent, unprovoked seizures occur due to an underlying brain disorder.
