Secondary epilepsy is not usually hereditary, but some genetic disorders may cause seizures. Secondary epilepsy is caused by a variety of well-defined structural injuries or functional abnormalities of the central nervous system, such as head trauma, cerebrovascular disease, tumors, central nervous system infections, parasites, inherited metabolic disorders, cortical developmental disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders. Many neurogenetic diseases can present with epileptic seizures, such as intracerebral epidermoid cysts, infantile wax-like lipofuscin accumulation disease, type II salivary acid glycosidase accumulation disease, lysosomal storage disease, and dark-masked dementia, etc. They may cause epileptic seizures. If any of the above factors are present seek prompt medical attention to identify the cause. It is recommended that patients should avoid dangerous sports and emotional impulses in their lives, and keep their living environment quiet to avoid seizures.
