What disorders cause seizures?

1. Cerebrovascular disease: the elderly have degenerated the tissues and functions of various organs and functions of the body, and are the most prone to cerebrovascular diseases, so they are also the most prone to late-onset epilepsy in the elderly, and epilepsy may be the main symptom of cerebrovascular seizures, which may appear in the acute phase of cerebrovascular seizures, or can appear many years after stroke.

2. Fever: cold and fever is a relatively common situation, but severe fever may also cause epilepsy, especially in children's body temperature regulation system is not perfect, more likely to have febrile convulsions, and in severe cases, it will cause damage to brain cells, thereby inducing epilepsy.

3. Brain tumor: middle-aged and elderly people are most likely to have brain tumor problems, and the first symptom of 1 3 patients is epilepsy, which is also a very harmful disease to health.

4. Traumatic brain injury: Traumatic brain injury is also a common factor that can cause epileptic seizures, for example, some people may not immediately have symptoms of epilepsy after being hit on the head, but they will bury the hidden danger of epilepsy, and epilepsy symptoms may suddenly appear in the future. Secondly, people who have undergone head surgery** due to trauma or tumors will also have a high chance of developing tumors in the future.

5. Brain infection: Many germs can cause brain infection, and infants and young children are also the most prone to brain infection.

Generally, strong emotional activity, mental agitation, fright, calculation, chess, etc. can promote seizures, fever, excessive water consumption, hyperventilation, drinking, insomnia, overwork and hunger can also induce seizures, so it is necessary to pay attention to prevention.

It is usually more common in abnormal electrical discharges caused by intracranial tumors compressing nerves.

If it is some hemangioma above the wrist, it may cause this seizure, so you should go for it**.

There are many causes of seizures, and there are many causes of epilepsy, most of which are related to brain damage.

There are many types of seizures, and if they run in families, they can cause the disease. Specifically, it is necessary to find a hospital for examination, and then proceed to **.

Brain damage can lead to later antennas, or it can be congenital, for example, yes, hypoxia during childbirth.

The causes that can lead to seizures are: 1. Fever, elevated body temperature can induce seizures, especially in children with epilepsy. 2. Drugs, epilepsy patients have other diseases, when taking drugs, improper medication will cause epilepsy, and the drugs that induce seizures are imipenem, ofloxacin, pefloxacin, isoniazid and clozapine.

3. Bad lifestyle habits, drinking, excessive fatigue, excessive hunger or oversatiety can induce epilepsy. Fourth, genetic factors, if there is a family history of epilepsy, the probability of epilepsy in offspring is greatly increased. 5. Shock, emotional tension, and excessive mood swings can induce reflex epilepsy.

A variety of brain lesions and metabolic disorders can cause epilepsy.

First, congenital diseases include heredity, metabolic disorders, brain malformations, congenital hydrocephalus, etc.

Second, intrapartum diseases include cerebral contusion and hemorrhage due to birth injury.

Third, febrile seizure sequelae.

Fourth, head injury.

Fifth, various bacterial meningitis, viral encephalitis, various autoimmune diseases accompanied by brain damage, demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system.

Sixth, poisoning, including lead poisoning, mercury poisoning, carbon monoxide poisoning and ethanol poisoning. In addition, systemic disorders such as pregnancy-induced hypertension and uremia can also cause epilepsy.

Seventh, intracranial tumors, etc.

Eighth, cerebrovascular diseases.

Ninth, hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, etc.

Tenth, Alzheimer's disease, Niemann-Pick disease, etc. can also cause epilepsy.

What disease can cause seizures, this epilepsy itself is something that can be done.

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.

We all know that excessive electrical discharge in the cerebral cortex is the direct cause of epilepsy. Well, the common root causes of epilepsy are:

1. Congenital diseases: congenital hydrocephalus, caloscosacral hypoplasia, cerebral cortex hypoplasia, congenital cerebral palsy, chromosomal malformations, etc.

2. Fetal brain injury: neonatal and infant brain structural lesions, of which birth trauma is also a major cause of epilepsy, brain contusion, edema, hemorrhage and infarction during childbirth can also lead to local cerebral sclerosis, cerebral palsy. After a few years, the lesion develops.

3. Cerebrovascular disease: In addition to cerebrovascular malformations and aneurysms, which cause seizures at a younger age, cerebrovascular epilepsy is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. Both hemorrhagic and ischemic cerebrovascular diseases can cause epilepsy.

4. Brain tumors: In addition to brain trauma, brain tumors are common causes, especially slow-growing oligodendroglioma, meningioma, astrocytoma, etc. It is more common in middle age and is an important cause of secondary epilepsy.

5. Brain infection: all kinds of encephalitis, meningitis, and brain abscess are easy to cause convulsions in the acute stage, and the scars and adhesions formed after healing may also become epileptic foci, and parasitic diseases such as cerebral schistosomiasis, cerebral pulmonary flukes, and cerebral cystechinococcosis often cause epilepsy.

6. Acquired brain injury: in youth and adulthood, traumatic brain injury is an important cause, which is an important cause of epilepsy, which is related to the location and degree of injury. The sequelae of brain injury, some of which take weeks, months or years to begin to develop epilepsy, are not the same as the course of the injury.

Epilepsy is divided into primary and secondary, as follows:

1. Primary epilepsy: due to abnormal brain development and metabolism, abnormal electrical discharges are generated, forming movement in a certain area that is not controlled by voluntary consciousness, which is manifested as seizures;

2. Secondary epilepsy: trauma, tumors, etc. compress brain tissue, resulting in abnormal discharge.

The above two seizure characteristics and clinical manifestations are similar, but they are different.

First, congenital abnormalities of brain development; second, tumors of the brain; III. Intracranial infection; Fourth, head trauma; 5. Cerebrovascular disease; Sixth, degenerative diseases. In addition, other systemic or systemic diseases can also cause epilepsy, such as hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, uremia, etc., as well as endocrine diseases, cardiovascular diseases, or toxic diseases.

What are the symptoms of a seizure?

Symptom 1: Grand mal seizure.

People with epilepsy usually have a grand mal seizure divided into four phases, and each period has its own different symptoms. (1) Premonitory stage: patients will experience symptoms such as dizziness and stomach discomfort.

2) Ankylosis stage: patients in this period will suddenly lose consciousness, fall to the ground, tilt their heads, and stiffen their limbs, and some patients will make a "lamb" like roar because of the spasm of the diaphragm, and the patient's face is blue-purple, pupils are dilated, and breathing is paused, which lasts for tens of seconds. (3) Clonic phase:

Rhythmic twitching of the muscles of the whole body, sometimes biting the tongue, foaming at the mouth, and incontinence, usually lasts 1-3 minutes. (4) Convalescence: It usually takes dozens of minutes for the patient to wake up during the convalescence period, and the patient has no memory of the seizure process, and the whole body is painful and weak.

Symptom 2: Petit mal seizures.

In patients with petit mal seizures, the patient has a brief loss of consciousness but is aware of their surroundings and can hear others, but is not. Minor seizures usually occur for 2 to 15 seconds and do not exceed 1 minute, and occur several to dozens of times a day. In minor mal seizures, the patient stares at the eyes, occasionally turning upward, and sometimes pale, without warning.

The common symptoms of epileptic seizures are introduced here, and if you have any other questions, you can go to the hospital for consultation. Expert advice: epilepsy patients will have certain symptoms before the onset of the disease, and the patient's family must know more about these symptoms, so as to deal with the patient after the onset of the disease, so as to reduce the patient's harm to themselves.

1. Epilepsy patients will not speak, dull eyes, delirium, no movement because of mood swings, and the duration is long, more than 6 minutes can return to normal, but it will be reversed, so it is recommended that patients pay attention.

2. Epilepsy patients will have a feeling of limb pain, and they suddenly find that they have pain in their limbs, sometimes there will be bilateral alternating pain, sometimes finger and toe pain, which lasts for minutes or hours.

3. What are the symptoms of epilepsy? People with epilepsy will lose their temper for no reason, be easily self-centered, always mess around endlessly, and speak rigidly and repetitively, stubbornly, without grasping the center, and pay attention to details.

4. Patients with epilepsy may vomit, dizziness, confusion and drowsiness due to fatigue and lack of sleep.

5. Epilepsy patients have sudden onset and sudden termination, interruption of activities and speech, staring at both eyes, sometimes pale, and rarely have aura. However, because the seizures are short-lived, those who have been ignored by the patient and their families for a considerable period of time will resolve their symptoms on their own soon after the seizures have stopped, while in chronic patients, psychiatric symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations can persist for a long time.

Patients often suddenly look directly at one side or turn upwards, are stunned, their activities and speech are interrupted, and their holdings fall to the ground.

At present, the main epilepsy is dystocia at birth, hypoxia, febrile convulsions, encephalitis, head trauma and some hereditary metabolic diseases. A detailed history and imaging studies are required.

There are many types of auras for epilepsy. Generally, sudden feeling of chest tightness, salivation, blurred vision, etc. may be the precursor symptoms of epilepsy, epilepsy patients can have symptoms such as staring in both eyes, twitching of limbs, foaming at the mouth, etc., the symptoms are different, and the diagnosis of epilepsy can go to a regular hospital for an electroencephalogram examination of the head. Visual precursors can be flashes of light, colored bright spots or blackness, auditory precursors such as tinnitus in celery cherry blossoms, olfactory precursors, and then some people with epilepsy can smell burnt erasers.

A precursor to gustatory sensations, some patients experience a peculiarly uncomfortable taste in their mouths before a seizure. There are also emotional precursors, including anxiety and fear before the attack, and fear is one of the most common. Psychiatric aura, including delusions, hallucinations, or other familiar sensations, as well as dizziness and epigastric discomfort.

As a chronic disease, epilepsy does not have much impact on patients with macroleakage in the short term, but long-term frequent seizures can cause serious effects on the physical, mental and intellectual properties of patients. Patients with epilepsy often have sudden seizures at any time, place, and environment and cannot control themselves, and are prone to falls, burns, drowning, traffic accidents, etc. Patients with epilepsy are often discriminated against by society, and encounter difficulties in employment, marriage, family life, etc., and the patient's mental depression and physical and mental health are greatly affected.

Cognitive impairment is mainly manifested as memory impairment, mental decline, personality changes, etc., and finally gradual loss of work ability and even life ability.
