Why does meningitis cause epilepsy?

Patient's question:

Why does meningitis cause epilepsy?

Doctor's answer:

If there has been a history of meningitis, it is possible to have another seizure because meningitis can stimulate brain nerve tissue damage or the recurrence of nerve tissue scars, which can eventually lead to the recurrence of abnormal pulses, thereby causing a seizure. Therefore, it is possible to have another seizure in this case. Generally, through active antiepileptic drug treatment, effective control and treatment can be achieved.
