I was premature by a month, and very small. In the Incubator for at least a month. They think lack of enough Oxygen then is a probable cause. In addition to the Right Temporal Lobe, further tests showed some coming in the Left Occipital Lobe. That has to do with Vision, so they would not do another Operation.

To me, epilepsy is a strong hit upon the head that may causes it, like my sister-in-law, over 45 years ago. Also, it could be caused by tumor(s) upon the brain that causes your brain to miss fire at times, like myself.

Yes, epilepsy is considered a brain disorder. It involves abnormal electrical activity in the brain that leads to seizures.
