What are the main causes of epilepsy in children?

The cause of epilepsy should be discussed with a doctor.

According to statistics, about one-third of patients with epilepsy have a history of head trauma, including open brain trauma and closed brain trauma. Traumatic brain injury is one of the leading causes of epilepsy. Epilepsy is still a minority in patients who develop after traumatic brain injury, and about 5 percent of patients with seizures after traumatic brain injury will have seizures, but after traumatic brain injury, a quarter of patients with early seizures may develop late.

Introduction: Epilepsy is a chronic disease of the brain and nervous system, and the symptoms of this type of disease are varied, ranging from mild to extremely dangerous, so it needs to be taken seriously. So, what are the symptoms of epilepsy in children? Next, I will tell you about it.

1. Frequent syncope. The most difficult symptom for parents to detect in children is frequent syncope, which is mainly manifested by mild eyelid myoclonus, accompanied by a few severe eyelid or perioral myoclonus, regular limb spasms, manifested as transient head, trunk, and limb myoclonus twitches. 2. Temporary impairment of consciousness.

The child suddenly has a brief loss of consciousness, and the main reason for the seizure is to interrupt the activities that he said and do, maintain a certain posture of the body, staring blankly into his eyes, and the seizure lasts for about 30 seconds, and then quickly regains consciousness and continues normal activities. This symptom is also easy for parents to ignore. 3. Seeing things that are invisible to people around them, or hearing sounds that are inaudible to people around them, the child is in a situation where he cannot see people around him, or sees or hears things and sounds that people around him cannot hear.

If this happens often, parents need to pay attention and take him to the hospital for a check-up. 4. Spasms in the limbs and foaming at the mouth. The child has symptoms such as twitching of the limbs, foaming at the mouth, apnea, and slanted mouth, which are easy to attract the attention of parents.

Protecting the head is an important measure to prevent epilepsy, and attention should be paid to avoiding traumatic brain injury caused by work and traffic accidents. For patients with hereditary epilepsy, prenatal diagnosis is recommended, and measures are taken as soon as possible to reduce the incidence of epilepsy when a hereditary disease is detected. Many sheep epilepsy is brought about by the birth of the baby, and many elderly mothers may cause hypoxia, suffocation, birth trauma, etc. during childbirth, so it can cause epilepsy.

Therefore, if advanced maternal age is not expected to be able to deliver smoothly, cesarean section should be performed as soon as possible to prevent the baby from suffering from epilepsy.

When the person loses consciousness during a seizure, the collar and trouser belt should be relaxed, and the patient's head should be lowered to one side so that saliva and secretions can easily flow from the corners of the mouth. If necessary, using a suction device, lifting the jaw, and pulling the tongue out with tongue forceps can prevent the tongue from falling out and blocking the airway; Do not force water or administer medicine to avoid inhalation into the respiratory tract, causing asphyxia or aspiration pneumonia.

The main symptoms of general epilepsy are sudden loss of consciousness, falling down, convulsions of limbs, foaming at the mouth or screaming in the mouth, and when you wake up, as usual, the main manifestations are human.
