    Epilepsy** a lot that you can take a look.

    Because my dad also had this disease, he got sick in '09, and we were very nervous at that time, so I looked up a lot of information on the Internet at that time. Learn about** and the symptoms.

    If you also have this disease, please don't panic, go to the hospital for a test first, and the doctor will do it for you according to your **. Everyone's suitable medicine is different, and you may try it at the initial stage, because there are many kinds of anti-epileptic diseases, but not every bean is suitable for you! So don't blame the doctor for being useless when taking the medicine at the initial stage and still getting sick, it's a trial stage!

    My dad got sick three months after the first medication, and then the doctor changed him to another medication, and so far everything is fine! Of course, the medicine is very cheap, ten yuan a bottle, you can take it for two or three months. But the inspection is a little more expensive, hundreds to thousands of dollars!

    You can't save this money!

    The above is for your reference only, if you have any questions I can help you, please let me know, I will try my best to answer for you! If I can't help you, please go to the hospital for consultation, because there are people around me who have also experienced this disease, so I understand your feelings very well! Please relax, this will also help a lot! Thank you!

    The main ** is cranial nerve abnormality.

    Caused by abnormal activity in parts of the brain. This is the root cause of the disease, and there are too many reasons for abnormal brain activity. There are congenital brain development lesions, acquired brain injuries and so on.

    At present, many drugs are aimed at the production or absence of a certain neuro-acting enzyme when the brain is not functioning normally, and the corresponding supplementation or inhibition effect on it.

    After reading the relevant information, surgery on the patient's brain and separation of the two brain connections can lead to epilepsy.

    This is a palliative solution, after separating the two sides of the brain, one side of the brain will still be diseased, but it will not affect the normal work of the other side, so that the patient will have a normal appearance after surgery. At least it won't have too many negative effects on life anymore.

    If the economic ability is not particularly strong, it is recommended to take medicine, after all, there is not much danger in the long run.

    Every epilepsy patient is different, so patients can't follow other people's prescriptions to epilepsy, let's take a look at what epilepsy is?

    1. Genetic factors.

    Investigation by epilepsy experts has proved that primary epilepsy is hereditary, and epilepsy caused by trauma, poisoning and infection may also be inherited, but it is not necessarily clinical.

    2. Endocrine disorders.

    Endocrine and immune dysfunction, some chemical and heavy metal poisons will cause the body's immune function to be disturbed, resulting in endocrine dysfunction, and then produce anti-cerebral cortex nerve cell antibodies, resulting in damage and loss of cerebral cortex nerve cells, and then lead to the onset of epilepsy.

    3. Birth injury. Because forceps delivery, fetal head aspirator suction, cephalopelvic disproportionality, abnormal fetal position, fetal oversize, long labor, premature maternal age, tension in the birth canal, premature rupture of amniotic fluid, etc., can cause birth injury, birth injury is now a common symptomatic epilepsy in infancy**.

    4. Intracranial infection.

    In life, various encephalitis, meningitis and other diseases can cause inflammation and edema in people's cerebral cortex, which can cause epileptic seizures.

    4. Febrile convulsions.

    According to statistics, the probability of epilepsy in children with febrile convulsions is 5 times higher than that of the general public, and tonic-clonic seizures are the most common type of clinical seizures. Between 6 months and 4 years of age, the medial temporal lobe and hippocampal structures are most susceptible to hypoxic brain injury, and it is also the most common age for febrile seizures.

    5. External trauma.

    That is, traumatic epilepsy, which is divided into early and late stages. In general, the longer the patient's consciousness is disturbed during trauma, the higher the incidence of epilepsy, and the forgetfulness after brain trauma for more than 24 hours will increase the chance of chronic seizures of epilepsy, and head injury under 5 years old, especially under 1 year old, is more likely to occur than older age.

    7. Acute alcoholism.

    Alcoholic epilepsy refers to seizures caused by acute and chronic alcohol intoxication or alcohol withdrawal, and seizures are mostly related to sudden alcohol cessation or rapid increase or decrease in alcohol consumption, which may be the direct effect of alcohol on brain cells and/or a sharp change in blood alcohol concentration after alcohol withdrawal, affecting the normal metabolism of brain cells and inducing brain wave abnormalities, resulting in seizures.

    There are many causes of epilepsy, traumatic brain injury: sequelae of brain injury, some of them start to develop epilepsy in weeks, months and years, the process of injury is different, the type of seizures is also different, and most of the severe CT or magnetic resonance examinations have softened foci. Severe bacterial or viral infections, meningitis, neurocystis, brain abscess, viral encephalitis, tuberculous meningitis, epidural abscess, etc. are one of the important causes of epilepsy.

    According to the classification of epilepsy**, it is divided into primary epilepsy and secondary epilepsy, primary epilepsy is closely related to genetic factors, and secondary epilepsy is often caused by intracranial organic lesions or metabolic disorders.

    The main cause of epilepsy in elderly patients is secondary epilepsy, such as intracranial tumors, and it is generally believed that the frequency of epilepsy caused by tumors in the tentorial of the cerebellum is about 4%0, and 15% of patients come to the hospital because of seizures.

    The second is cerebrovascular disease, and hypertensive encephalopathy can cause spastic seizures throughout the body.

    The third is the disease of brain degeneration.

    Fourth, infection with various bacterial meningitis, brain abscess, granuloma or viral encephalitis can cause seizures.

    The fifth is metabolic brain, such as hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, uremia, etc., which can cause metabolic seizures.

    The factors that are roughly related to primary seizures are mainly genetic factors, and patients with surgical primary epilepsy have a clear family history, most of which are inherited in an irregular autosomal dominant or recessive manner.

    Epilepsy is a sudden, episodic, transient disturbance of brain function caused by abnormal hypersynchronous firing of brain cell populations. In people who have seizures, 2 3 have only one seizure in their lifetime, and the other 1 3 have a reverse ** called epilepsy. Currently, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Classification Working Group recommends that epilepsy** be divided into 6 broad categories:

    Hereditary, structural, metabolic, immune, infectious, and **unknown. It should be noted that this is only a general classification of epilepsy** and should be as specific as possible. For example, diagnosing "temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis" is more clinically significant than diagnosing "structural temporal lobe epilepsy" Epileptic hair hormone is extremely complex, can be divided into three main categories, and there are multiple factors that affect the pathogenesis:

    1.Idiopathic epilepsy Suspicious genetic predisposition without other obvious **, often onset at a special age, with characteristic clinical and electroencephalographic manifestations, and the diagnosis is clear. Why does epilepsy occur?

    4 major incentives should not be ignored. Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy" or "epilepsy".It is a chronic disease in which sudden abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain leads to transient brain dysfunction, and it is estimated that there are about 9 million epilepsy patients in China

    Same. What are the ** of epilepsy?This type of disease is easy to cause.

    People should be more...Epilepsy is a series of symptoms caused by abnormal electrical discharges of neurons in the brain, which can be abnormalities in motor, sensory, mental-emotional behavior, and of course the most common is foaming at the mouth and convulsions of the limbs. Epilepsy is necessarily in the brain, and in general, any.

    It is commonly known as "epilepsy" or "epilepsy", which is a chronic disease in which neurons in the brain suddenly and abnormally discharge, resulting in transient brain dysfunction. According to the latest epidemiological data in China, the overall prevalence of epilepsy in China is 100,000 per year, and the prevalence of active epilepsy with seizures within 1 year is 100,000. It is estimated that there are about 9 million epilepsy patients in China, of which 500 6 million are active epilepsy patients, and about 400,000 new epilepsy patients are added every year, and epilepsy has become the second most common disease in neurology in China after headache.

    Due to the different initiation sites and delivery modes of abnormal discharges, the clinical manifestations of seizures are complex and diverse, and can manifest as episodic motor, sensory, autonomic, conscious, and psychiatric disorders. There are many kinds of epilepsy causes. Epilepsy patients can be controlled by regular anti-epileptic drugs**, about 70% of patients can be controlled, of which 50% and 60% of patients can be cured after 2 to 5 years**, and patients can work and live like normal people.

    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.

    The main ones are birth trauma, asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxia, and ischemic encephalopathy, of which epilepsy caused by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is the most common. Intracranial infections are epilepsy**, such as bacterial meningitis, viral encephalitis, brain abscess, meningitis, encephalitis after vaccination, encephalitis after infection, etc., can cause seizures.

    Epilepsy is a chronic condition in which neurons in the brain suddenly and abnormally discharge, resulting in transient brain dysfunction. Because of the location involved in the abnormal firing of neurons, it can manifest as seizure motor, sensory, autonomic, conscious, and psychiatric disorders. It is one of the common clinical symptoms caused by a variety of causes.

    1. Primary epilepsy.

    Onset is more common in childhood and adolescence. The seizure types are limited to generalized seizures, absence seizures, and clonic seizures, and are more susceptible to physiological and environmental triggers, and a few have a family history.

    2. Secondary epilepsy: also known as symptomatic epilepsy. See Common Commons below**.

    According to the seizures, they can be divided into major seizures, minor seizures, psychomotor seizures and localized seizures.

    1) Grand mal seizures, also known as generalized seizures, are aura, such as dizziness, confusion, epigastric discomfort, and audio-visual and olfactory disturbances. During the seizure (spasmodic seizure period), some patients first make a sharp scream, and then have both loss of consciousness and fall, have muscle rigidity of the whole body, respiratory arrest, head and eye can be biased to one side, a few seconds later there are clonic convulsions, the convulsions gradually worsen, lasting dozens of seconds, the clonic period of breathing resumes, mouth foaming (such as the tongue is bitten and blood foam). Some patients have incontinence, flaccid convulsions, or lethargy (lethargy), after which consciousness gradually returns.

    2) Minor seizures, which can be transient (2 15 seconds) with impaired or loss of consciousness without generalized spasms. There may be multiple seizures per day, sometimes rhythmic blinking, head lowering, direct eyes, and upper extremity twitching.

    3) Psychomotor seizures, which can be manifested as sudden seizures, confusion, irregular and uncoordinated movements (such as sucking, chewing, seeking, shouting, running, struggling, etc.). The patient's actions are unmotivated, aimless, blind, and impulsive, and the seizures last for hours, sometimes for days. The patient has no memory of the seizure.

    4) Localized seizures, generally seen in patients with organic damage to the cerebral cortex, manifested as episodic jerks or paresthesias at the corners of the mouth, fingers or toes on one side, which can spread to one side of the body. When seizures involve both sides of the body, they can manifest as grand mal seizures.

It is important to know that epilepsy is a chronic disease in which neurons in the brain suddenly and abnormally discharge, resulting in transient brain dysfunction. Seizures are caused by abnormal discharge of neuronal cells in the brain to cause clinical epilepsy symptoms, so to prevent seizures, it is necessary to penetrate and repair the abnormal discharge of the balance of damaged neuronal cells.
