Key Takeaways:

  1. CP-related brain injury may lead to seizures from the same side of the brain.
  2. Seizures in CP are often one-sided (focal), not affecting both sides.
  3. These are called focal seizures or partial seizures.
  4. Eye jerks on the opposite side of the brain injury are common signs.
  5. The type of seizure often depends on the area and extent of brain injury.

Cerebral Palsy(CP) due to brain injury on a specific side of the brain may increase chances of seizures from the same side of the brain. Seizures in CP are more prone to be one-sided occurrences than two-sided in the brain. Eye jerk movement in the side of the body that is opposite to the injured half of the brain is also a signature for typical kind of seizures seen in individuals with CP.
