In this project work we discuss about different types of epilepsy. Epilepsy is 4th most common neurological disorder affecting 65 million peoples worldwide. According to epilepsy foundation of America, he found that approximately 45000 peoples are dead due to epilepsy. It is categorized into two main types i:e partial seizure (affecting small portion of brain) generalized seizures( covering all portion of brain). Several etiological factors responsible for causing epilepsy such genetic, CNS infection, metabolic disorders, miscellaneous. Epilepsy is caused due to imbalance between glutamate and GABA neurotransmitters. Abnormal jerking movement, confusion, fatigue, repetitive blinking are some common symptoms of epilepsy. While diagnostic test such as EEG, CT scan, PET scan, MRI and other treatment such ketogenic diet, vagus nerve stimulation, help to many people of all age who live with epilepsy. Today’s several antiepileptic drugs are available such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, ethosuximide, phenobarbital, may help to treat al l types of epileptic seizures.
