How does epilepsy come about?

Epilepsy is a complex, common chronic neurological condition with uncertain seizures. There are a variety of different ** and clinical manifestations, and the common symptoms are sudden loss of consciousness, falling to the ground, convulsions of limbs, spitting at the mouth, etc. "Regular**" is the only way to get epilepsy patients out of the disease, regular drugs** can make 70 80 patients have seizures in the first 5 years, of which 50 can be completely stopped, and some of the refractory epilepsy patients who are ineffective with drugs can be operated on****.

The so-called "regular**", simply put, is early diagnosis, accurate selection of drugs according to the type of epilepsy, after determining the optimal dosage, long-term regular taking, can not be interrupted at will, and only after the "seizures" are effectively controlled, can the drug be slowly reduced or stopped. Unlike other diseases, epilepsy** is not "immediate" and requires long-term patient medication** and regular follow-up.

Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy" or "epilepsy", is a chronic disease in which neurons in the brain suddenly and abnormally discharge, resulting in transient brain dysfunction.

Symptoms of epilepsy:

1. Grand mal seizure: the patient will suddenly lose consciousness, followed by falling, and then there are those manifestations that everyone knows well, such as convulsions, foaming at the mouth, incontinence and so on. The whole body is stiff and will recover on its own within a few minutes.

2. There are two manifestations of petit mal seizures, one is absence petit mal seizures, and the second is myoclonus petit mal seizures. Minor seizures of absence are manifested as stunned, unable to breathe, speech interrupted, and if there is something in the hand, it will fall, and the duration is about tens of seconds. Myoclonus petit seizures are characterized by transient myoclonus of the face, upper extremities, and neck.

3. Localized seizures: transient convulsions or numbness on one side of the face or one side of the body. Sometimes these tics extend from the ends of the limbs to the opposite side.

4. Psychomotor seizures, similar to small seizures of absence seizures, but they will last for a long time, hallucinations, delusions, and some unconscious actions such as chewing, sucking, etc.

1. Direct causes and factors (common symptomatic epilepsy).

1) Traumatic epilepsy.

Traumatic epilepsy refers to epilepsy caused by trauma. It is often a local pathologic change after trauma.

Some primary epilepsy may also have a history of minor head injury and prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum trauma, but no pathology can be identified. Birth and head injury is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infancy. Contusion, hemorrhage, and ischemia can also lead to local brain tissue malacia, which later becomes a focus of epilepsy.

2) Brain diseases and systemic or systemic diseases.

This type of epilepsy is secondary epilepsy, such as cerebrovascular disease, sequelae of encephalitis, cerebral mass lesions, cysticercosis, etc. Cerebrovascular epilepsy is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, except for the younger age when the seizure occurs due to vascular malformation. Both hemorrhagic and ischemic cerebrovascular diseases can cause epilepsy.

About 5% of people who start epilepsy about 1 year after the onset of the disease.

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.

Epilepsy is more often related to brain damage or brain abnormalities, but also has a certain genetic relationship, and some types of epilepsy** have not been reasonably explained. For example: craniocerebral malformations, birth trauma, congenital metabolic abnormalities, febrile seizures, brain tumors, infections, congenital causes, brain diseases, external brain injuries, etc.

Common seizures are: most of them have no aura symptoms before the seizure, sudden loss of consciousness, convulsions all over the body, foaming at the mouth, bluish complexion, some accompanied by screaming, and even incontinence, which gradually relieves after about 2-3 minutes, and gradually recovers consciousness and breathing, but still feels weak and sleepy.

There are many causes of epilepsy, roughly speaking, epilepsy can be divided into two types, one is primary epilepsy, this type of ** is inherited; The other is secondary epilepsy, which is generally caused by later generations, such as brain disease, traumatic brain injury, etc. **Epilepsy, you can learn about ROS neuronal stimulation technology.

Nowadays, the number of patients with epilepsy is increasing, and epilepsy is becoming more and more common in our lives, so many people already know that epilepsy not only has adverse effects on the health of patients, but at the same time, taking care of epilepsy patients has also become a financial burden for many families.

Symptomatic treatment: This is the most important treatment for epilepsy. There are several types of seizures, and different types are targeted with medications.

If the drug is not right, it will not only fail to cure the disease, but also increase the adverse reactions of the drug. Therefore, the treatment of epilepsy should first be based on the type and characteristics of the patient's seizures.

Primary epilepsy is also called idiopathic epilepsy; Epilepsy without organic lesions and with a genetic predisposition. It is a specific group of epilepsy syndromes, often age-related and some genetic-related in children, and has a good prognosis. Such as:

When the fetus is in the mother's womb, the pregnant mother is suddenly frightened, causing the qi to rise and fall disorders, resulting in liver and kidney sperm and blood loss, causing abnormal fetal development, and the symptoms of this disease appear after birth.

Many reasons, I wish you a speedy **.

Some are caused by accidents, and some are congenital.

Epilepsy is hereditary, and then there is acquired epilepsy, that is, having been injured

Everyone's illness is different, some are caused by accidents, and some are congenital.

Plenty of rest, get enough sleep, and don't eat spicy food

Epilepsy contains congenital factors, and this understanding is similar to that of primary epilepsy in Western medicine. In traditional medical books, it is called "fetal eclampsia", which means that it is brought in the womb. For example, the brain is underdeveloped, the function of the internal organs is congenitally insufficient, and of course, genetic factors are also included.

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder, and the primary form of epilepsy** is not particularly well understood, but is usually related to genetic factors. Secondary epilepsy is mainly secondary to certain diseases, and patients with head trauma may be induced by brain damage or brain surgery due to a violent blow to the head.

Infectious diseases of the central nervous system, such as tuberculous meningitis and viral meningitis, may also cause seizures. Epilepsy may also be associated with ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease. Brain tumors, Alzheimer's disease, and advanced Parkinson's disease can also trigger seizures.

Examination to confirm the presence of epilepsy should be based on the appropriate method. Usually, the main thing is to avoid predisposing factors and control the frequency of **.

1. Heredity is one of the causes of epilepsy, if there is a history of epilepsy in the family, it may be passed on to the next generation, and the heredity is caused by metabolic disorders, so if there is a history of epilepsy in the family, we must take preventive measures.

2. Traumatic factors are also the main cause of epilepsy, the coexistence of brain and trauma at the same time will easily lead to intracranial infection and wound infection, if the condition can not be controlled in time, it will lead to the occurrence of epilepsy.

3. Cerebrovascular diseases can also cause epilepsy, which is generally common in the elderly, and general bleeding and ischemic cerebrovascular disease may cause epilepsy. Most patients with cerebrovascular disease begin to develop epilepsy about a year after the onset of the disease, and its incidence is about 5% or more.

4. Epilepsy caused by birth trauma, many newborns will be born due to various influences that will lead to trauma or hypoxia, if the treatment is not timely and improper, it will easily lead to the occurrence of epilepsy in children.

Epilepsy is complex and difficult, but it is not incurable, generally through, most of the epilepsy is well controlled, so, how? Let's find out.

At present, most epilepsy patients mainly choose drugs, and drugs are one of the more important methods in epilepsy. The doctor will let the patient use drugs in the initial stage**, and most patients can follow the doctor's instructions to use the medicine correctly, **The effect is still good, and the seizures can be well controlled.

The results of the surgery are also good, however, the surgery is relatively risky, and the surgery is not suitable for every patient. Before the surgery, you need to go to a regular hospital for an examination to understand the condition of the patient, and then choose whether surgery is needed**.

Epilepsy is caused by the sequelae of brain damage, and there are also congenital epilepsy.

The onset of epilepsy is related to some congenital diseases, such as hereditary metabolic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, etc., and head trauma is also prone to cause epilepsy, including birth injuries at birth and head injuries caused by some accidents. In addition, if you have an intracranial tumor or cerebrovascular disease, you may also have a high chance of developing epilepsy. Once you have epilepsy, not only your physical health will be jeopardized, but also your intellect may also be affected. More.

There are many causes of epileptic seizures, such as the probability of epilepsy when newborns have birth trauma, hypoxia, genetics and other conditions during childbirth, and epilepsy in adults may be due to seizures caused by craniocerebral trauma, poisoning, bacterial infection, viral infection, etc., and most of the epilepsy in the elderly is due to brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, metabolic problems, etc., resulting in epileptic seizures.

Of course, there are some cryptogenic patients who cannot accurately identify the specific cause of epilepsy, and the difficulty of such patients in the process will be relatively greater.
