What are the diagnostic methods for epilepsy?

The diagnosis and treatment are mainly based on the patient's on-the-spot seizure symptoms combined with long-term electroencephalogram examination, and the seizures are basically more than three times.

Epilepsy refers to epilepsy in medicine, if the child has sudden abrupt, transient, transient, recurrent, self-limited seizures of abnormal motor behavior or paresthesias, changes in consciousness and other manifestations without obvious causes, epilepsy should be considered, and the child should go to the neurology department for treatment. The diagnosis of epilepsy is clinically divided into the following five steps, which are as follows:

1. Determine seizures and epilepsy diagnosis: determine whether seizures are seizure events and meet the definition of epilepsy diagnosis;

2. Clarify the type of seizures: classify seizures according to the manifestations of clinical seizures and electroencephalogram;

3. Types of epilepsy and epilepsy syndromes: EEG characteristics and clinical manifestations of clinical seizures in children, taking into account factors such as imaging, age, and prognosis for the diagnosis of epilepsy syndrome. It should be noted that a significant proportion of cases cannot be diagnosed with any of the current syndromes;

4. Clear epilepsy**: including hereditary, structural, metabolic, immune, infectious and **unknown, some of which can be targeted**;

5. Determine functional impairment and comorbidities: that is, what kind of dysfunction does epilepsy bring to the child and other comorbidities.

Therefore, the diagnosis of epilepsy is a scientific and rigorous process, and it is highly professional, so it is recommended that children go to professional medical institutions for treatment. Follow your doctor's procedures to complete relevant examinations and diagnoses, and follow your doctor's instructions for medication and follow-up.

Looking at many aspects, on the whole, this hospital meets the standards of regular hospitals, and the technology and so on are all passed.

The diagnostic criteria for epilepsy are symptoms and electroencephalogram, and an MRI must also be done, mainly to rule out intracranial lesions. It is not meaningful to diagnose epilepsy and do ordinary EEG, it is best to do 24 hours **EEG, so that you can confirm whether it is epilepsy, what type of epilepsy is, etc., which is very helpful for the next step to develop a ** plan, the main purpose of doing MRI is to find ** and rule out intracranial lesions.

Modern Chinese medicine has a clearer classification of epilepsy according to the classification method of Chinese medicine classics. It can be summarized as follows:

1) It is divided into two categories: yin epilepsy, impotence epilepsy, or empirical evidence and false evidence. This division is actually a dichotomy of yin and yang inherited from traditional Chinese medicine.

2) Epilepsy is divided into epilepsy, convulsions, phlegm epilepsy, epilepsy, epilepsy, fever epilepsy, stasis epilepsy, and deficiency.

Epilepsy is a common chronic brain and nervous system disease, and there are many kinds of epilepsy, and the seizure symptoms of epilepsy are also varied, and the methods are also different. Sudden seizures and relapses of epilepsy have a serious impact on the body and mind of epilepsy patients and their families. An issue that both epilepsy patients and their families care about and care about.

The diagnosis and examination of epilepsy cannot be separated, and epilepsy requires a correct diagnosis and must be examined, especially epilepsy is easy to be confused with other diseases, so the examination of epilepsy must be accurate!

According to experts, the diagnosis and examination of epilepsy cannot be separated, and epilepsy should be distinguished from syncope, pseudoepileptic seizures, narcolepsy, and hypoglycemia. Differentiation is not difficult based on EEG, history, symptoms, and signs. Here are three ways to check for epilepsy:

1. Lumbar puncture CSF examination, which can be changed.

2. If it is secondary epilepsy, further cranial CT, cranial MRI, MRA, DSA and other examinations should be performed to find the corresponding lesions.

3. EEG, BEAM, Holter (EEG, EEG topography, ambulatory EEG monitoring): clear pathological waves, spikes, sharp waves, spike-slow waves or sharp-slow waves can be seen.

Experts remind that the above is an introduction to the diagnosis and examination of epilepsy, the diagnosis and examination of epilepsy can not be separated, I wish epilepsy patients can correctly diagnose and examine, as soon as possible, epilepsy should seize the opportunity, do not miss the best time for epilepsy. Epilepsy requires long-term treatment, but epilepsy patients can generally reduce the drug until the drug is stopped after a certain period of regular and systematic medication. If there is no seizure within 3 years after stopping the drug, it is considered **.

Because epilepsy is recurrent, it is sometimes easy**. Therefore, patients should not be blindly optimistic, and should be alert to the possibility of seizures in the future. The most important thing is to pay attention to maintenance and prevent any triggers, such as absolute abstinence from smoking, alcohol, agitation or anger, and excessive fatigue.

In addition, try to watch less TV, play fewer game consoles, use less computers, mobile phones, do not play chess, do not play mahjong, etc.

The above are some of the experts' introductions to the epilepsy examination and diagnosis, and I hope you find these contents helpful.

Hello, there are many causes of epilepsy, but in general they belong to the following categories:

1. Idiopathic (also called primary) sheep epilepsy.

2. Symptomatic (also called secondary) sheep epilepsy.

1. Physical examination: The physical examination of epilepsy patients is the same as other diseases, and the examination items include general condition, mucous membranes, lymph nodes, spine and limbs, etc., but the focus should be on the nervous system. It is necessary to pay attention to the mental state and intelligence of the epilepsy patient, and also pay attention to whether the epilepsy patient's speech is normal, especially whether the head is too small or too large.

2. Medical history information: a detailed and accurate medical history is an important basis for diagnosing epilepsy, when the patient cannot tell the seizure process, it is necessary to carefully understand the whole process of the seizure from the witness, including the environment, posture, complexion, voice, whether there are limb twitches and the approximate order of the seizure. Knowing whether there was loss of consciousness at the time of the seizure is critical to diagnosing a generalized tonic-clonic seizure.

3. Laboratory examination of epilepsy: blood biochemical examination: according to age and condition, different items need to be selected for the diagnosis of epilepsy.

Generally, there are blood calcium, magnesium, sodium, blood glucose, blood bilirubin, blood gas analysis, blood lactate, blood ammonia, liver function, etc. Cerebrospinal fluid examination: mainly to rule out intracranial infection, intracranial hemorrhage and other diseases.

4. Laboratory examination: blood biochemical examination, according to age, condition, differential diagnosis needs to choose different items. Generally, there are blood calcium, magnesium, sodium, blood glucose, blood bilirubin, blood gas analysis, blood lactate, blood ammonia, liver function, etc.

These are all things to pay attention to in the tests to be done for epilepsy.

5. Cerebrospinal fluid examination: It is generally to check for intracranial or extracranial complications. In addition to conventional, biochemical, and bacterial culture smears, mycoplasma, toxoplasma, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, cysticercosis, etc. should also be examined, and cytological examination of abnormal white blood cells should be noted.

Electroencephalography, magnetic resonance, and magnetoencephalography that is unique to Beijing.

Epilepsy is a chronic disease in which sudden abnormal electrical discharges of neurons in the brain, resulting in transient brain dysfunction, and epilepsy has a genetic predisposition, and congenital epilepsy has a high genetic chance. It is recommended to take the child to a regular children's hospital for a check-up, because every time epilepsy occurs, the damage to brain neurons and brain cells will be aggravated, and in severe cases, it will even lead to dementia and mental abnormalities. Therefore, if the diagnosis is confirmed, it should be carried out in time**.

Hello ah bai, first of all, combined with the symptoms, du grand mal seizures are generally manifested as, sudden loss of consciousness, dao to the ground, head back.

The limbs are twitching, some patients roar due to diaphragm spasm, the face is blue, the pupils are dilated, the mouth is foaming or drooling, the eyes are turned up, and some are accompanied by incontinence. The comprehensive use of a variety of examination methods for the diagnosis of epilepsy can reduce the misdiagnosis rate, and electroencephalogram, magnetoencephalography, spect, PET, magnetic resonance scanning, etc., can help the differential diagnosis of epilepsy from different angles.

It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, brain CT examination and MRI and so on.
