It is possible for epilepsy to be inherited in children. Epilepsy is not a disease per se, but a group of clinical syndromes, so it is not a genetic disease, but it has a certain genetic predisposition. If the parents have a history of epilepsy, even if it is symptomatic or secondary epilepsy with a clear cause and acquired, the children are more likely to develop epilepsy in the future than the general population without a family history. In the case of primary epilepsy, that is, epilepsy that has no cause and has had its onset before the age of 20, the probability of the child developing epilepsy in the future is even higher if there is a family history of this type of epilepsy. However, epilepsy is not a genetic disease, so the inheritance is not 100%, and there is no pattern, just a tendency, leading to a possible increase in the incidence of epilepsy, the patient is not necessarily going to have seizures. If you have a family history of epilepsy, you should be careful to avoid triggers that cause seizures, such as flash stimulation, hyperventilation, prolonged late-night stays, and heavy alcohol consumption.
