ABSTRACT

Epilepsy can be considered as unprovoked seizures within 24 hours. From decades, seizures shrouded even when CNS was not studied. With the help of case study, we have tried to point out a hypothetical point correlating genetically acquired epilepsy and catamenial epilepsy. So far, studies have been conducted on the influence of female sex hormones upon differently oriented electrical charges in the brain and related complications. The present article describes genetic variations and hormonal changes as two sides of the disease condition. We have tried to explain the mechanism of QARS gene mutation from previously researched data and an evidence-based study of the same has been done for a better understanding of the reader. The article has aimed discussion upon etiological factors including female sex hormones, thyroid hormones, insulin, prolactin, alteration in bone metabolism, adrenal hormones, and genetic epilepsy for better apprehension of pathological conditions.  

Keywords: Catamenial epilepsy, genetic epilepsy, adrenal hormones, unprovoked seizures
