How can epilepsy tell which is primary and which is secondary?

Primary epilepsy mostly refers to epilepsy of unknown origin (including congenital epilepsy of unknown cause, so-called cryptogenic epilepsy, no organic brain lesions found on clinical examination, and systemic metabolic diseases).

Secondary epilepsy refers to epilepsy caused by mass occupancy of the brain and organic lesions or metabolic abnormalities of the brain. Such as congenital brain hypoplasia, birth trauma, fever, shock, traumatic brain injury, cerebral hemorrhage, brain tumor, cerebrovascular malformation, poisoning, Japanese encephalitis, neurocystis infection, schistosomiasis infection, nutritional metabolic diseases, Behcet's disease, etc., if there is any uncertainty, you can click on me ** consultation.

Primary epilepsy refers to epilepsy that has no manifestations of organic or metabolic diseases of the brain and cannot be found to have any cause. Secondary epilepsy is caused by a variety of brain organic lesions or metabolic disorders, such as: congenital brain dysplasia, birth trauma, hyperthermia, convulsions, head injury, brain abscess, brain tumor, encephalitis, cerebrovascular disease, poisoning, nutritional and metabolic diseases.

Hello, my friend; In the Internet era, the ends of the world are like neighbors.

Epilepsy is a disease that Western medicine calls 'the world's stubborn disease'Only pure Chinese herbal medicine can be used to make it**.

No matter which 'sexual' it is, according to the evidence, I will use it at my discretion, and increase or decrease it according to the changes in the evidence, as long as the patient can fully comply with the doctor's instructions, it is possible to obtain **.

Usually secondary epilepsy is caused by traumatic brain injury, abnormal brain development, brain infection, cerebral hemorrhage, ischemia, brain metabolic disorders, brain parasitic diseases, brain degenerative diseases, brain mass lesions, and poisoning. It is easy to pinpoint by taking a medical history**.

Primary epilepsy, on the other hand, does not have obvious organic lesions of the brain, which is not easy to identify.

Please refer to the chapter on epilepsy classification in Clinical Epilepsy, there is too much content to go into detail at once.

Secondary epilepsy, also known as symptomatic epilepsy, refers to epileptic epilepsy caused by other disorders and can occur at any age, mostly in young adults. Most of the seizures are partial seizures, such as simple partial seizures (motor, sensory, autonomic), complex partial seizures (psychomotor seizures), etc., and a small number of patients can develop generalized seizures. Anti-epileptic drugs** are not very effective, and if the primary disease can be removed, epilepsy can mostly be obtained**.

Epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical discharge of nerve cells in the brain, and primary epilepsy refers to epilepsy with no underlying **. The unclear nature of primary epilepsy is closely related to genetic factors, as most children have a family history and some children are unclear. Childhood and adolescence are the peak of epilepsy, and in clinical practice, when encountering such patients, it is necessary to first find out**, rule out secondary epilepsy, and then consider primary epilepsy.

secondary epilepsy or symptomatic epilepsy; It is also called having definite ** and cerebral epilepsy. There are many diseases that cause this type of epilepsy, which are mainly divided into the following two categories: one is intracerebral disease, various brain diseases, such as cerebrovascular disease, craniocerebral co-infiltration injury, meningitis, hydrocephalus, brain abscess, inflammatory granuloma, intracranial tumor, brain parasite, craniocerebral trauma, and demyelination.

Epilepsy can be caused by sheath diseases, abnormal brain development, sequelae of brain atrophy and brain surgery, local brain scarring, and brain degenerative diseases. The second is extracerebral diseases: such as: hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, asphyxia, shock, eclampsia, uremia, and diabetes.

Disease, cardiogenic convulsions, and metallic, drug poisoning, etc. Many central nervous system or systemic disorders can cause epilepsy. The common causes of secondary epilepsy are birth trauma, intracranial infection, abnormal cerebral circulation, etc., such as sequelae of encephalitis, febrile seizures in children, etc., which can cause epilepsy.

Hello! Glad to answer for you :

Epilepsy that does not have an underlying factor other than genetic factors is a primary form of epilepsy. Secondary epilepsy** is complex, mainly due to brain diseases and systemic diseases caused by various causes, and genetics also plays a certain role. There are many common diseases, such as congenital diseases, trauma, infection, poisoning, intracranial tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, nutritional and metabolic diseases, degenerative diseases, febrile seizures.

The former is epilepsy caused by an acquired disease, and the latter is a congenital epilepsy with a genetic predisposition.

Epilepsy can be treated with brain surgery**.

Primary epilepsy is when there is no finding cause for the seizure. On the other hand, secondary epilepsy is the cause of seizures, such as traumatic brain injury, tumor, etc.

The cause of the primary epilepsy cannot be found, so it can only be treated symptomatically, mainly by taking medication, and the secondary is to find the cause, ** to eliminate the cause of the seizure, you can**. There is no need to take medication for a long time.

One is the problem (hardware) that comes with it at the factory

One is that it was accidentally broken later (both software and hardware are possible).

The latter one is easy to say if it's not a hardware problem...
