About 5% of patients with epilepsy after brain trauma will have epilepsy, but after brain trauma, the number of patients with epilepsy in the early stage may be one fourth of those in the late stage. Extrabrain injury during childbirth is an important cause of epilepsy in children.

Second: brain diseases: including brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial infection, etc., are also common factors inducing epilepsy, especially the so-called late-onset epilepsy in adulthood, the proportion is relatively higher. The growth of brain tumor oppresses or affects the surrounding brain tissue and its blood vessels, resulting in brain edema, swelling, hypoxia, ischemia, brain tissue sclerosis or atrophy.
