This differsfrom acute symptomatic seizure in which seizure is due to acute symptomatic illness or brain insult. The etiology of unprovoked seizures include epilepsy, tumor’s, brain malformation. There is increased concern regarding early morbidity and sudden unexpected death due to congenital and acquired neurological deficits, noncompliance to antiepileptic drugs and status epilepticus and incidence of sudden unexpected deaths is 0.36 to 0.43 per1000 person years1 . Relative risk of sudden un expected death is 7.7 times higher in patient with onset of epilepsy2 . Mortality in children issignificantly higher than the general population
