Epilepsy can come alongside other neurological conditions, for example hemiplegia. This does not necessarily mean the conditions are linked.

Some people have seizures that can be mistaken for epilepsy, but are caused by another condition. These are called non-epileptic seizures.



Non-epileptic seizures

Non-epileptic seizures are seizures that often look like epileptic seizures but which have a different cause.



Hemiplegia and epilepsy
