Answers:

Two answers: 1-Lots of different things. 2-We don't know

In some cases epilepsy is caused by many different things that affect the way the brain works including tumors, different kinds of infections, problems during birth, and some existing medical conditions. Those are called symptomatic epilepsies.

In about %75 of cases though, there is no known cause, and those are called idiopathic epilepsies. Hopefully as science progresses we can find answers to some of the many questions about epilepsy.
