What causes epilepsy in children?

Many of the most advanced epilepsy first have genetic problems, as well as birth defects, in addition to head trauma, brain tumors, cranial surgery, birth trauma, metabolic disorders, hypoxia, poisoning, etc. If it is pediatric epilepsy, the more common are prenatal and intrapartum injuries, genetic and congenital defects, metabolic disorders, hypoxia and other problems, and there are a few that have not been identified**, **or need to be symptomatic**.

For details, you can go to Hainan Renxin Hospital to ask. Epilepsy is a common and frequent disease, which is often called "epilepsy" in Chinese folk, and it is also called "epilepsy" and "epilepsy" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a chronic brain disease caused by a variety of **, characterized by sudden, recurrent, and transient cerebral nervous system dysfunction caused by sudden and excessive discharge of brain neurons.

Depending on the location and extent of the abnormal firing neurons, seizures can manifest as sensory, motor, conscious, behavioral, autonomic and other disorders to varying degrees, or both. Epilepsy is not a simple disease or syndrome, but a complex group of symptoms and symptoms caused by multiple pathological processes in the brain. The main characteristics are repetition and episodic.

Hello, there are many ** that cause epilepsy in children, and the common causes are:

Birth injury: It is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infants and young children, and the causes of birth trauma include forceps delivery, fetal head suction device suction, cephalopelvic disproportionality, abnormal fetal position, fetal oversize, long labor, excessive age of primiparous mothers, and tension in the birth canal.

Congenital diseases: brain malformations, hydrocephalus, chromosomal abnormalities, etc.

Brain hypoplasia, brain retardation, brain atrophy, etc.

Amniotic fluid inhalation fetal asphyxia, umbilical cord around the neck, placental abruption, placenta previa, umbilical cord prolapse, caesarean section, etc., the incidence of fetal asphyxia increased significantly in the future.

Some patients with various encephalitis, meningitis, and brain abscess may have sequelae of epilepsy after recovery.

Cerebral schistosomiasis and neurocysticercosis can cause epilepsy.

Intracranial tumors: pediatric tumors, less common.

Cerebrovascular disease: epilepsy due to vascular malformations in children is rare.

Poisoning: Lead, gas, pesticides, and systemic diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, rapidly progressive nephritis, uremia, etc., can cause seizures.

Nutritional and metabolic diseases: hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, vitamin B6 deficiency, hyperthyroidism, etc. can cause seizures.

Trauma: includes both open and closed trauma.

Congenital factors: Birth refers to the damage that the fetus suffers in the mother's body before birth, which can cause abnormal brain development and seizures after birth. For example, pregnant women have abdominal injuries, uterine bleeding, ultraviolet radiation, taking drugs harmful to the fetus, various microorganisms, especially rubella, measles virus and toxoplasma infection.

Heredity: 5% of children of people with epilepsy develop epilepsy.

Weakened immunity: Some infants and young children often have colds and fevers that are the cause of low immunity.

The causes of childhood epilepsy are: 1. Perinatal brain injury: birth injury, asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, brain injury caused by hypoglycemia in the neonatal period, etc., are the most common causes of childhood epilepsy in infants and young children.

2. Congenital brain development abnormalities: such as megaencephaly, polyencephalic gyrus malformation, gray matter heterotopia, local cerebral cortex dysplasia, brain dysplasia caused by intrauterine infection, etc. 3. Hereditary metabolic diseases and degenerative diseases

Phenylketonuria, hyperammonemia, propionic acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia, neuronal cereus lipofuscinosis, vitamin B6 dependence, etc. 4. Intracranial inflammatory diseases: bacterial meningitis, viral encephalitis, fungal meningitis, immune encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, multiple sclerosis, cerebral parasitic diseases and other factors.

If it helps you, I hope you will accept or like a long and healthy life! I wish you happiness, success and happiness!

Hello, there are many causes of epilepsy. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to check your child to see what is causing it, and then prescribe the right medicine.

Medication alone can only have the effect of controlling seizures, and can not achieve the purpose of epilepsy, long-term medication will also have a certain impact on the patient's body, which will lead to memory loss, liver and kidney function impairment, the body is easy to resist or rely on drugs, once the drug is reduced or stopped, it will lead to more frequent seizures. Only for the abnormal discharge of cranial nerves and brain cells to repair and regenerate, restore their normal tissue function so that there is no longer abnormal discharge, so as to achieve the purpose of epilepsy.

The Kunming military sea is quite good, and the equipment here is quite advanced, so we must choose carefully when treating them to ensure the best results.

There are many reasons, my friend's child is in Kunming Junhai**Okay, why don't you go and see it. No. 172, Ankang Road, Xishan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province.

There are many causes of epilepsy, and there are a few things I know about children

1) Intracranial infection: such as various encephalitis, meningitis and other diseases, resulting in inflammation and edema of the cerebral cortex in children, thus causing seizures in children. Epilepsy in children caused by intracranial infection should be diagnosed early and actively to reduce the occurrence of sequelae and complications.

2) Traumatic brain injury: there is a certain incidence of epilepsy after trauma, and the longer the child is in a coma, the more serious the brain parenchymal injury and the higher the incidence. For example, intracranial hematoma compression in the acute phase and intracranial hypertension caused by edema after brain parenchymal injury are all causes of seizures in children.

3) Bad living habits: Unhealthy living habits may also lead to seizures in children, so in order to prevent the onset of childhood epilepsy, parents should try to let their children develop healthy and good living habits at ordinary times. >> Recommended How is epilepsy caused in children?

4) Brain parasitic disease: With the development of society and the improvement of health conditions, the number of childhood epilepsy caused by brain parasitic disease has decreased, and this disease is mainly prevalent in North China, Northeast China, Yunnan and other places. Eating food or water contaminated with eggs can cause the eggs to enter the body and parasitize the cerebral cortex with the blood circulation, causing seizures.

There is also a chance that childhood epilepsy will be hereditary.

Pediatric epilepsy, is what we often call sheep epilepsy, this disease has the characteristics of anti-**, when pediatric epilepsy seizures, the child will have some strange movements, and finally will faint, causing pediatric epilepsy There are many reasons, below, let's take a specific look at it.

1. Genetic factors.

Pediatric epilepsy has certain genetic factors, and the types of pediatric epilepsy inherited in different families are also different. This is due to the fact that there is a special gene in these families that is abnormal. This abnormal gene can cause problems in the metabolism of calcium, sodium, potassium and some chemicals in the child's body, which will indirectly cause epilepsy in children.

2. Brain diseases.

Encephalopathy is also one of the causes of pediatric epilepsy, if the child suffers from cerebral gray matter heterotopia, brain malformation and other diseases when the child is in the mother's womb, it will cause pediatric epilepsy.

If the child has a primary tumor, metastatic tumor, meningitis, toxoplasma gondii and other diseases in the brain, it can also cause pediatric epilepsy. In addition, some cerebrovascular diseases, such as cerebral infarction and cerebral venous malformations, can also cause epilepsy in children.

3. Systemic or systemic diseases.

Some systemic or systemic diseases can also cause pediatric epilepsy, such as hypoglycemia, uremia, hypertensive encephalopathy, some metal poisoning, etc., which will cause pediatric epilepsy. In addition, some blood diseases can also cause epilepsy in children.

4. Dietary problems.

Some dietary problems can also cause the occurrence of pediatric epilepsy, and if parents give their children long-term food, eating some high-fat foods and fried foods will easily cause pediatric epilepsy. If the child is frightened for a long time, drinks too much water, and is hungry for a long time, it is also easy to cause epilepsy in children.

Pediatric epilepsy is a disease that is extremely harmful to children, when suffering from pediatric epilepsy, it is necessary to carry out medication**, and in severe cases, direct surgery**. During the first period, parents should take good care of their children in life and psychology, and go to the hospital regularly for reexamination.

Causes of seizures are:

1. Heredity. 2. Seizures caused by traumatic brain injury, such as falls, car accident injuries, and seizures after brain surgery.

3. Brain dysplasia.

4. Childbirth injuries, such as the use of midwifery forceps during childbirth, which can cause infantile cephalic epilepsy.

5. Infection caused by meningitis, etc.

There are various manifestations of epileptic seizures in children, but they all have the characteristics of sudden arrest and periodic seizures, and the benign seizures in children are mostly twitching on one side, lips and tongue, which can be accompanied by paresthesia in the part, unable to speak, salivating, generally conscious, many nocturnal seizures, and the prognosis is better. What causes epilepsy in children**?

Factors that cause epilepsy are:

1. Patients with encephalopathy. is the most important factor in causing epilepsy

Congenital or developmental diseases: cerebral malformations (microcephaly, cerebral perforation malformations, cerebellar gyrus malformations), hydrocephalus, neuro** syndrome (tuberous sclerosis, cerebral trigeminal nerve hemangioma), cerebral palsy, etc.;

Brain injury: birth trauma (intracranial hemorrhage, dural laceration, cerebral contusion), acute head injury (closed, open), subdural or epidural hematoma or effusion, post-traumatic scarring, etc.;

Infections: bacterial meningitis, brain abscess, viral meningitis or encephalitis, tuberculous meningitis or tuberculous mycotic meningitis, tetanus, brain parasites or protozoal diseases, etc.;

Brain tumors: glioma, meningioma, leukoencephalopathy, etc.;

Cerebrovascular diseases: cerebral aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral vascular embolism, arteriovenous and venous sinus thrombosis, chronic subdural hematoma and hypertensive encephalopathy, etc.;

Brain degenerative diseases: macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis;

Toxic encephalopathy: cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure from any cause.

2. Toxic epilepsy. drug intoxication; Food poisoning, carbon monoxide (CD) poisoning, organophosphate poisoning, heavy metal poisoning (mercury, lead, arsenic), etc. Anoxia. Shock, asphyxia, severe anemia, acute hemorrhage, and cardiopulmonary diseases can easily cause epilepsy.

3. Endocrine and metabolic disorders. abnormal metabolism of protein, sugar, and fat; disorders of water and salt metabolism (water intoxication, alkalosis, diabetes insipidus, hyperosmolar dehydration); low blood calcium, low blood magnesium; vitamin deficiency, hepatic encephalopathy; renal insufficiency; Kernicterus is also a cause of epilepsy.

After all, it is related to its own problems, and it is necessary to go to a regular hospital to rest assured, such as Shanghai Shenjiang.
