What Causes Grand Mal Seizure?

my daughter was just recently diagozied with a seizure disorder. She is 27 years old and has never had this problem before but one day she had a grand mal seizure with no warning, it just happened out of the blue. We are beside ourselves. The meds they put her on, Keppra, severely increased her head pain. She had an EEG which showed nothing abnormal. She has Aperts Syndrome and Hydroshlepus and has had numerous surgeries and times where she has had very high pressure levels over the course a long time. I m wondering if this has all of a sudden now caused her brain to be on over load where it can no longer function as it was before which now has caused the recurring seizures that she continues to have. We just want some answers.

Hello,

Yes, it may be related to her hydrocephalus. You should immediately see her neurologist and get MRI brain done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
