LONDON: A schoolboy from England has made medical history as the first in the world with severe epilepsy to trial a new device fitted in his skull to control seizures, the UK media reported Monday. Since then he has suffered daily seizures ranging from two dozen to hundreds, BBC reported. His mother Justine told BBC Oran had a range of different seizures, including those where he fell to the ground, shook violently, and lost consciousness. Epilepsy seizures are triggered by abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain. Justine told BBC he was happier and had a "much better quality of life".
