Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects millions worldwide, including people right here in Pune. It is marked by recurrent seizures due to abnormal brain activity. Although epilepsy can be a lifelong condition, it is manageable with the right treatment and care.
At Dr. Mahesh Kumar’s Brain & Spine Clinic in Koregaon Park, Pune, we specialize in accurate diagnosis and advanced treatment of epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
What Is Epilepsy? Epilepsy is a disorder where nerve cell activity in the brain becomes disturbed, causing seizures. Seizures can vary from brief lapses in attention to severe convulsions and loss of consciousness.
Epilepsy can develop at any age and may result from genetic conditions, brain injuries, infections, or unknown causes.
Common Causes of Epilepsy
- Head trauma or brain injury
- Stroke or brain tumor

Symptoms of Epilepsy
The type and intensity of seizures can differ widely, but common symptoms include:
