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

    3. Brain hypoplasia, brain retardation, brain atrophy, etc. 4. Amniotic fluid inhalation fetal asphyxia, umbilical cord around the neck, placental abruption, placenta previa, umbilical cord prolapse, caesarean section, etc., the incidence rate will increase significantly in the future5. Some patients with various encephalitis, meningitis, and brain abscess may have postepileptic sequelae after recovery. 6. Cerebral schistosomiasis and neurocysticercosis can cause epilepsy.

    7. Intracranial tumors: pediatric tumors, less common. 8. Cerebrovascular disease:

    Epilepsy due to pediatric vascular malformations is uncommon. 9. Poisoning: Lead, gas, pesticides and systemic diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, rapidly progressive nephritis, uremia, etc. can cause seizures.

    10. Nutritional and metabolic diseases: hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, vitamin B6 deficiency, hyperthyroidism, etc. can cause seizures. 11. Trauma:

    These include both open and closed trauma. 12. Congenital factors: Childbirth refers to the damage suffered by the fetus 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. 13. Heredity: 5% of the children of epilepsy patients have epilepsy.

Common pediatric epilepsy is as follows:

    1. Perinatal brain injury: mainly birth injury, asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxia, ischemic encephalopathy, among which hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is the most common in patients with epilepsy. 2. Nutritional metabolism disorders and endocrine diseases

    Common hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesia, vitamin B6 deficiency, and hypothyroidism. 3. Congenital factors: congenital diseases such as brain malformations, hydrocephalus, chromosomal abnormalities, as well as damage to the fetus in the mother's body before birth, which can cause abnormal brain development and seizures after birth, such as abdominal injury of pregnant women, uterine bleeding, ultraviolet radiation, taking harmful substances to the fetus, various microorganisms, especially rubella, measles virus and toxoplasma infection.

    4. Trauma: Intracranial hemorrhage, skull fracture, cerebral contusion and laceration caused by trauma can cause epilepsy, but the incidence is related to the degree and location of the injury. 5. Amniotic fluid inhalation fetal asphyxia, umbilical cord around the neck, placental abruption, placenta previa, umbilical cord prolapse, caesarean section, etc., the incidence of disease will increase significantly in the future.

    6. Genetic factors: 5% of the children of epilepsy patients have epilepsy. 7. Birth injury:

    It is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in children, and the causes of birth injury include forceps delivery, fetal head suction device suction, cephalopelvic disproportion, abnormal fetal position, fetal oversize, prolonged labor, excessive age of primiparous mothers, and tension in the birth canal. 8. Patients with cerebral hypoplasia, brain development retardation, brain atrophy, various encephalitis, meningitis, and brain abscess may have sequelae of epilepsy after recovery; Cerebral schistosomiasis and neurocysticercosis can cause epilepsy. 9. Trauma and low immunity:

    Trauma and the fact that some infants and young children often have colds and fevers can sometimes cause epilepsy. 10. Brain injury after febrile convulsions also leads to epilepsy.

    Epilepsy is very uncomfortable and may make your baby's body weaker. Therefore, parents must take good care of their babies and not let their babies suffer from epilepsy because of poor care. So what is the cause of epilepsy in children?

    There are different types of epilepsy, one is congenital, the other is acquired, and many children are congenital epilepsy, which is caused by genetics. If the child's father or mother and their relatives have epilepsy, the chances of the child developing epilepsy are very high. Therefore, it is necessary to have a physical examination before preparing for pregnancy, and not to be able to give birth to an unhealthy child, which is also very bad for the child's future, which may make the child gossip from others and seriously hurt the child's soul.

    If your child suffers from congenital epilepsy, parents must pay attention to their children's emotions, not to let the child be too excited, too excited emotions will also cause epilepsy, will make the child particularly uncomfortable. And parents should tell their children that they are not able to do strenuous exercise, and they must tell their parents in time after the onset of the disease.

    If the child does not absorb enough nutrients in the mother's body, it may cause stunted growth and development or an organ in the body that is not fully developed, which may induce epilepsy. Therefore, when pregnant, pregnant women must regularly go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups to check the growth and development of the child. And if the child has epilepsy, it may also induce other diseases, so parents must take good care of the child and take the child to have checkups regularly, so as to alleviate the symptoms of epilepsy and make the child more comfortable.

    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.

    The cause of childhood epilepsy is primary epilepsy, which refers to the brain of the patient, and there are no structural changes or metabolic abnormalities that can explain the symptoms, mainly due to genetic factors. The causes of secondary epilepsy are complex, mainly due to various causes of brain diseases and systemic diseases, and genetics may also play a role. If there is a history of neonatal dystocia and trauma, vomiting, suffocation, and bruising in reality, most of them are epilepsy caused by intracranial hemorrhage, and artificially fed children over one year of age can also cause epilepsy.
