    Abstract

    Background The nature, burden, and effects of adult-onset seizure disorder on the person, family, and community make it a serious public health concern. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the etiology and clinical features of adult-onset seizures. The current study aims to investigate the clinical profile of seizures in adult patients visiting our hospital, classifying seizures in accordance with the 2010 ILAE classification system, and identifying the cause of seizures in adult patients. Material and methods This was a prospective cross-sectional hospital-based study conducted on 100 cases presenting with adult-onset seizures at medical emergency ward/OPD/ICU in the Department of General Medicine, KR Hospital, Mysore for a period of 2 years. Renal function tests, serum electrolytes, electroencephalograms (EEG), and Computed Tomography (CT) brain scans were the parameters that were evaluated.
