AB A  seizure  is  an  episode  of  abnormal  neurologic  function  caused  by  the  inappropriate  electrical  discharge  of  brain  neurons.  Primary  seizures  are  those  without  an  identified  specific  cause.  Secondary  seizures  result  from  another  identifiable  neurologic  condition,  such  as  a  mass,  head  injury,  or  stroke  (Table  145-1).
