Can an Epidural Trigger an Epileptic Seizure in a Person With Epilepsy?

by admin

A friend of mine who has epilepsy had just had an epidural done, whatever they are, at a hospital and soon after had a seizure. Could the treatment have led to it?

An epidural is when anesthesia is injected into part of the spine. I don't see how that could trigger a seizure, but it is possible.
