Temporal Lobe Seizure Prognosis (Expectations)
Seizures can occur as a single event or be recurrent. Seizures that recur with no precipitating factors are most commonly a chronic, lifelong condition termed epilepsy. (epilepsy).
Seizures that occur singly or in a discrete cluster are commonly caused by an acute condition, such as brain injury. They may occur secondary to an isolated incident, but can then develop into a chronic seizure disorder. Seizures within the first 2 weeks of a brain injury do not necessarily mean that a chronic seizure disorder will develop.
Serious injury can occur if seizure occurs while during driving or when operating dangerous equipment. Swimming and bathing without supervision are also not recommended. Contact sports are also not advisable. Therefore, these activities may be restricted for persons with poorly controlled seizure disorders.
