Plasma fatty acid abnormality in Sudanese Drug-Resistant Epileptic Patients

Epilepsy is a group of common chronic neurological disorders characterised by sudden, unprovoked seizures due to abnormal excessive neuronal activity in the brain [1,2]. Epileptic seizures are transient episode of symptoms, which last from seconds to a few minutes, caused by abnormal brain electrical activity. The disorder is associated with a higher risk of premature death due to seizure-related accidents and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases [3,4]. Epilepsy affects over 65 million people worldwide [5] and accounts for about 1% of the global burden of diseases [6].
