Abdominal Epilepsy Symptoms
Introduction
Epilepsy is a brain disorder involving repeated, spontaneous seizures of any type. There are different types of epilepsy but what they all share are recurrent seizures caused by an uncontrolled electrical discharge from nerve cells in the cerebral cortex. This part of the brain controls higher mental functions, general movement, the functions of the internal organs in the abdominal cavity, perception, and behavioral reactions.
