Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases globally that affects about 50 million people of all ages; of which almost 80% live in low- and middle-income countries (WHO) [1]. Epilepsy could affect people in all ages, and with a higher incidence in small children, and in elderly aged 65 years and older [2]. Based on studies from the 1990’ies, unprovoked epileptic seizures among subjects aged 17 years and older has been shown to have an incidence of 56 in 100,000 person-years [3,4], with a cumulative incidence of unprovoked seizures of 4.6% among those in the ages of 17 and 84 years.
