Soldier's brain injury may increase risk of Epilepsy

A new study shows that brain injuries that soldiers may develop from war may increase the risk of epilepsy in the later years.
A researcher at the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke said that war veterans that have developed traumatic brain injury may develop epilepsy years after they served in a war.
The earlier epilepsy is noticed the more severe the seizures may get over time. The magazine that is publishing the study states the veterans should go to the doctor years after a brain injury and follow up.
The researchers at the institute have found that 87 veterans developed epilepsy after being diagnosed with a brain injury.
