Can cerebral brain atrophy caused by epilepsy be reversed?
Cerebral, or brain, atrophy is a condition in which neurons and tissues in the brain are destroyed. Epilepsy can rarely cause this condition, although the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke reports that seizures are common symptoms of cerebral atrophy. Prompt treatment for brain atrophy can minimize the effects on the brain, but the damage is generally irreversible.
