Which brain disorders can trigger epilepsy

Epilepsy seriously affects the normal life of patients, many patients have low self-esteem, because there are many epilepsy, brain diseases are also an important cause of epilepsy, so what are the brain diseases that cause epilepsy? What can we do to prevent epilepsy?

1. Traumatic brain injury, especially head injury accompanied by torn meninges and neonatal birth injury (even if normal delivery, the squeezing of the birth canal on the child's head can also cause clinically imperceptible damage, and later become a brain epilepsy foci).

2. Cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism, hypertensive encephalopathy, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral arteriosclerosis, etc. Expert recommended reading: What are the metabolic disorders that cause epilepsy?

3. Congenital anomalies of the brain, such as cerebral hypoplasia, tuberous sclerosis, hydrocephalus, cerebral perforation malformation and Sturge-Kalischer-Weber syndrome (vascular nevus on the face, spasmodic seizures, spastic hemiplegia, hemibody atrophy, intellectual disability and bulging eyeball) and cerebrovascular malformations.

4. Brain infections such as meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscess, toxic encephalopathy, cerebral syphilis, etc.

5. Cerebral parasitic diseases, such as cerebral cysticercosis, cerebral schistosomiasis, cerebral malaria, cerebral flukes, cerebral cysticercosis, cerebral cysticercosis, etc.

6. Brain degenerative diseases such as macular degeneration, lobar atrophy, multiple sclerosis, degenerative encephalopathy, etc.

7. Brain tumors are more common in brain convex, frontal, parietal and temporal regions, especially meningioma, followed by astrocytoma and oligoglioma.

8. Local scarring and atrophy of the brain caused by any reason.

Congenital factors, dietary factors, mental factors, labor factors, fall and birth injury.

There are many disorders that cause epilepsy, which fall into two main categories:

First, intracerebral diseases, such as cerebrovascular disease, encephalitis, meningitis, brain abscess, inflammatory granuloma, intracranial tumor, brain parasite, craniocerebral trauma, demyelinating disease, abnormal brain development, brain atrophy, etc., can cause epilepsy.

The second is extracerebral diseases, such as hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, asphyxia, shock, eclampsia, uremia, diabetes, cardiogenic convulsions, metal and drug poisoning, etc. Epilepsy is complex, and many central nervous system or systemic disorders can cause epilepsy. If a clear primary cause can be found, it is called secondary epilepsy or symptomatic epilepsy.

It can be caused by a congenital disorder or by a variety of conditions at birth or after birth.

However, there are also many patients who cannot find the cause even after various methods of examination, and epilepsy is the only symptom of the disease, which is called primary or idiopathic epilepsy. Primary epilepsy is a specific group of epilepsy syndromes, more common in children, often closely related to age, and some are related to genetic factors, and the prognosis is good.

1.Genetic factors: Genetic factors are an important cause of epilepsy, especially idiopathic epilepsy, and some of the mechanisms of hereditary epilepsy are abnormalities in the structure or function of ion channels or related molecules.

2.Brain diseases: Brain diseases can directly cause abnormal changes in brain neurons, which are important causes of epilepsy.

Including (1) congenital brain development abnormalities, such as cerebral gray matter heterotopia, cerebral perforation malformation, etc.; (2) Intracranial tumors, such as primary or metastatic tumors, which cause abnormalities in the normal structure of the brain; (3) Traumatic brain injury, such as birth injury, cerebral contusion and various craniocerebral compound injuries, etc., which destroy the normal structure of the brain; (4) Cerebrovascular diseases, such as cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc. (5) Intracranial infection, such as meningitis, various encephalitis, brain cysts, etc.

3.Systemic or systemic disorders: These conditions are a major cause of epilepsy.

Including (1) metabolic diseases, such as hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, uremia, etc.; (2) Endocrine diseases, such as hypoparathyroidism; (3) cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertensive encephalopathy; (4) Toxic diseases, such as organophosphate poisoning, heavy metal poisoning, etc.; (5) Hypoxia, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, suffocation, etc., can cause abnormalities in brain neurons; (6) Others: hematologic diseases and rheumatic diseases.

1. Genetic factors are the cause of epilepsy.

2. Congenital factors are the cause of epilepsy. Congenital factors of epilepsy include congenital diseases such as brain malformations, hydrocephalus, chromosomal abnormalities, or damage to the fetus in the mother's body before birth, which can cause abnormal brain development and seizures after birth.

3. Acquired factors are the first causes of epilepsy. Birth injury: It is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infants and young children, and the causes of birth injury include forceps delivery, fetal suction device to attract round ants, cephalopelvic disproportionality, abnormal fetal position, fetal oversize, long labor, excessive age of primiparous mothers, and tension in the birth canal. Cerebral hypoplasia, brain development retardation, cerebral atrophy, and some patients with various encephalitis, meningitis, and brain abscess may have sequelae of epilepsy; Cerebral schistosomiasis and neurocysticercosis can cause epilepsy; Nutritional Metabolic Diseases:

Hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, vitamin B6 deficiency, hyperthyroidism, etc. can cause seizures.

Epilepsy** is complex and diverse, including genetic factors, brain disorders, systemic or systemic disorders, and more.

Genetic factors. Genetic factors are an important cause of epilepsy, especially idiopathic epilepsy. Molecular genetic studies have found that some of the molecular mechanisms of hereditary epilepsy are structural or functional changes in ion channels or related molecules.

Brain disorders. Congenital brain development abnormalities: cerebral gray matter heterotopia, cerebral perforation malformation, tuberous sclerosis, cerebrofacial angiomatosis, etc.

Cranial tumors: primary or metastatic tumors.

Intracranial infection: various encephalitis, meningitis, brain abscess, neurocysticercosis, cerebral toxoplasmosis, etc.

Traumatic brain injury: birth injury, intracranial hematoma, cerebral contusion and various craniocerebral compound injuries.

Cerebrovascular disease: cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and cerebral aneurysm, cerebral arteriovenous malformation, etc.

Degenerative diseases: Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Pick's disease, etc.

Systemic or systemic disease.

Hypoxia: asphyxia, carbon monoxide poisoning, after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, etc.;

Metabolic diseases: hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, phenylketonuria, uremia, etc.;

Endocrine diseases: hypoparathyroidism, insulinoma, etc.;

Cardiovascular diseases: A-S syndrome, hypertensive encephalopathy, etc.;

Toxic diseases: organophosphate poisoning, some heavy metal poisoning, etc.;

Others: such as hematologic diseases, rheumatic diseases, eclampsia, etc.

Epilepsy** is closely related to age, and different age groups tend to have different ranges**.

The Department of Neurology of Chengdu Fire General Hospital will introduce you to what are the ** epilepsy:

1. Nutritional and metabolic diseases are the causes of epilepsy: hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, vitamin B6 deficiency, hyperthyroidism, etc. can cause seizures. Poisoning with lead, gas, pesticides, and systemic diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, rapidly progressive nephritis, and uremia can cause seizures.

2. Birth injury: Birth injury is a common cause of epilepsy, and the causes of birth injury include forceps delivery, fetal head suction device suction, cephalopelvic disproportion, abnormal fetal position, fetal oversize, long labor, excessive age of the primiparous mother, and tension in the birth canal. 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.

There are many causes of seizures.

1.Congenital diseases: such as chromosomal abnormalities, inherited metabolic disorders, brain malformations and congenital hydrocephalus.

2.Trauma: Birth and head injury is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infancy and early childhood, and contusion, hemorrhage, and ischemia can also lead to local brain malacia and later epileptic foci.

3.Infection: various encephalitis, meningitis, cerebral abscess in the acute phase of hyperemia, edema, the influence of toxins and exudates may cause seizures, and the scars and adhesions formed after healing may also become epileptic foci, parasitic diseases such as cerebral schistosomiasis, cerebral lung flukes, cerebral cystechinococcosis, etc. often cause epilepsy.

4.Poisoning: Lead, mercury, carbon monoxide poisoning, as well as systemic diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, hypertensive syndrome, acute nephritis, uremia, etc., can cause epilepsy.

5.Intracranial tumors: In patients with epilepsy after the age of 30, in addition to brain trauma, brain tumors are common causes, especially slow-growing oligodendroglioma, meningioma, astrocytoma, etc.

6.Cerebrovascular disease: In addition to the young age of seizures caused by cerebrovascular malformations and aneurysms, cerebrovascular epilepsy is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Both hemorrhagic and ischemic cerebrovascular diseases can cause epilepsy.

7.Nutritional metabolic diseases: hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, hyperthyroidism, can cause seizures.

8.Allergic diseases: such as tuberous sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, etc., are also often accompanied by seizures.

Heredity, caused by secondary trauma surgery, there is a folk saying that children bite the pen when they look at pigs and sheep at the door of sows, sheep, and pens.

FES epilepsy** need to go to a specialized and regular hospital, do not rush to the doctor. I don't have epilepsy over there.

You know, the general hospital does not **epilepsy, it is recommended that you go to Shanghai**. Epilepsy Department, Xinke 1st Hospital.
