Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Seizures in your case are probably genetic, also known as idiopathic epilepsy.

A brain tumor on the other hand, can also cause seizures. It is important to know the location and size of brain tumor. If possible, please upload a copy of the MRI brain report.

There are good medications to prevent seizures, so, there is no need to worry.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
