Understanding Temporal Lobe Seizure - Prevention
Can I Prevent Temporal Lobe Seizures?
Seizures afflict girls and boys equally and are more common before the age of 15 years and after age 65. Inherited seizures are more likely to occur in girls. Seizures occurring after head trauma are more often in boys. For now, there is no way to screen for a seizure disorder before it develops. However, avoiding head injuries such as by wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle can reduce your risk of acquiring a seizure disorder.
