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.
