Childhood epilepsy is a neurologic disorder characterized by a transient manifestation of signs and symptoms resulting from abnormal, excessive, or synchronized neuronal activity in the brain, affecting a significant number of children globally. This abstract provides an overview of key aspects related to childhood epilepsy, encompassing its epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic modalities, and management considerations. Diagnostic tools, including electroencephalography (EEG) and neuroimaging, play crucial roles in confirming the diagnosis, identifying potential causes, and guiding treatment decisions. Beyond seizures, childhood epilepsy often presents with impacting cognitive function, psychosocial conditions, and physical issues. Early and accurate diagnosis, coupled with a multidisciplinary approach to care, is essential for optimizing outcomes and providing holistic support to children with epilepsy and their families. This overview research aims to deepen our understanding of the diverse facets of childhood epilepsy, paving the way for improved therapeutic interventions and enhanced long-term prognosis.
