Does epilepsy get worse with age?

The severity of epilepsy is affected by many factors, such as whether it is positive**, the effect of drug control, whether it is effective in avoiding triggers, and the location and size of the lesion; In addition, it is also related to the nature, whether it is secondary or idiopathic epilepsy, and in terms of the current effect, the rate of secondary epilepsy can be passed by surgery is higher.

Take, for example, a case I handled

The patient, a 7-year-old female, was found"Episodic loss of consciousness with limb twitching admitted to hospital for 1 year**.

Main symptoms: 1 year ago, there was no obvious cause for the first seizure, manifested as loss of consciousness, falling to the ground, unable to breathe, twitching of limbs, eyes staring upward, swallowing saliva, lasting about tens of seconds to 2 minutes, no aura before the attack, general weakness after the attack, awakening and regaining consciousness after self-remission. Unable to recall the onset of the disease after waking up.

Intermittent seizures, with variable periodicity and duration, up to about 5 days. Can be induced when emotionally aroused.

One year ago, the left intracranial mass was identified by enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, and the intracranial mass lesion gradually increased with the course of the disease, and now involves the left basal ganglia, which is considered to be a tumor.

Diagnosis: symptomatic epilepsy, right frontal ganglion cell glioma WHO class I.

Surgical resection and postoperative re-examination, there was no abnormal waveform in the electroencephalogram, and the drug is now continued to be maintained.

There can be no misconceptions and prejudices about whether epilepsy will get worse with age, and in fact, there is no direct relationship between epilepsy and age.

Epilepsy is a relatively common neurological disease, which is caused by abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain caused by various reasons, according to the cause, it can be divided into primary and secondary, the more common are pediatric febrile convulsions, meningitis sequelae, ischemic encephalopathy caused by traumatic brain injury or birth injury.

When the child grows up, will pediatric epilepsy get better? According to the relevant doctors, this disease is currently a disease with a high incidence, and when the child grows up, will pediatric epilepsy be good can not be generalized, and most patients need to receive a formal authoritative hospital ** epilepsy. According to the statistics of relevant personnel, there are about 8 million to 9 million epilepsy patients in China, more than half of which occur in childhood, and there are 400,000 new cases every year.

The symptoms of seizures are varied and the diagnosis is highly subjective. If there is a slight error in the type of diagnosis, the wrong medication may aggravate the condition. So will the child grow up with pediatric epilepsy?

Experts point out that to vary from person to person, it is best to accept **. To see childhood epilepsy, you must find an experienced doctor, like pediatric benign epilepsy, you don't have to be overly nervous, moderate medication, it can disappear naturally after adulthood, don't overdo it**. When people think of epilepsy, they immediately think of foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground with cramps.

In fact, this is only a grand mal seizure of epilepsy, and there are many smaller seizures, such as fainting, momentary dazing (impaired consciousness), numbness or tingling, etc. Among children with epilepsy, there are not a few benign ones. In the process of pediatric development, there is an abnormal discharge of brain waves that causes seizures, but with the improvement of the child's nervous system, it will disappear naturally in adulthood, and such epilepsy is called "pediatric benign epilepsy".

Some experts believe that the number of occurrences of benign epilepsy in children is small and does not need to be **. However, through follow-up, it was found that the children who did not ** had worse learning ability than other children. So will childhood epilepsy get better when it grows up?

Even though pediatric benign epilepsy is likely to resolve on its own, this does not mean that there is no need. Because children are in the development period, it is the first period of learning, repeated abnormal brain discharge, will cause nerve cell damage, apoptosis, resulting in brain function development disorders, children's memory decline, lack of concentration, emotional irritability, intelligence decline, social skills reduction, etc. Most children with benign epilepsy will be cured after **.

But sometimes, parents treat it as a refractory epilepsy, and even take the initiative to ask a specialist to operate on their child, which is unnecessary. Because there are many kinds of epilepsy symptoms, not only "foaming at the mouth and convulsions all over the body" in people's impression, but also many atypical symptoms, which brings a certain degree of difficulty to diagnosis. Deng Yuhong emphasized that the diagnosis of epilepsy requires doctors to judge according to clinical symptoms and EEG reports, and one of the important means of diagnosing epilepsy is electroencephalogram examination, which is very subjective and requires high clinical experience of doctors, especially when doing EEG for children, large interference factors, and moving hands and feet may cause changes in brain waves.

Therefore, be sure to find an experienced doctor. The classification of epilepsy is complex, and the methods of each type of epilepsy are different. Otherwise, it is easy to aggravate the condition.

I hope that the above experts' introduction to the question of will pediatric epilepsy get better when it grows up can enable you to have a new understanding of pediatric epilepsy, and then take preventive measures as early as possible.

If many patients are sick, they do not go to the hospital in time, take the most suitable prescription for themselves, but blindly use some anti-epileptic drugs, if a certain drug can control the number of seizures, the patient will increase the dosage and use this drug for a long time, so that the patient's body is very harmful, which will lead to high blood concentration in the body, resulting in a series of symptoms such as drug poisoning, then the patient's body will become more and more weak, resulting in frequent seizures.

**Not insisting is also a common cause of the original macro, around us, there are many people who see that the disease has improved, so they no longer insist on **, stop taking drugs on their own, which can easily lead to epilepsy more serious, reverse phenomenon, and the second seizure is much more serious than the first.

**Untimely is also a common reason, many people did not pay attention to it at the beginning, and regretted it until the disease became more serious, or simply took the drug after the seizure, and did not go to a regular hospital, if the condition was not timely**, it is also one of the factors that lead to the increase in the number of seizures in the later stage, so we must pay attention to the fact that the disease can not be delayed, and should go in time**.

More and more people have more epilepsy, this spine may be caused by the bad habits of people nowadays, we should take good care of our body, we should live a rough life, we should pay more attention to our body in our diet, and the stool fluid will reduce the occurrence of these diseases.

Now the media has a lot of reports, and Min Bian plus since ** also said, so I feel that there are many people with epilepsy, but in fact, it is not that there are many epilepsy patients now, and there were many in the past, but there are not so many reports.

Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from epilepsy. Patients with epilepsy are usually usually related to diet or genetics.

This disease is also relatively common, so it feels like there will be a lot of people, but it's not.

This phenomenon is even more acute in rural areas. In fact, the hall is careful that the epilepsy of the 80 can be **, and some of the recalcitrant patients who are left behind in the hall can also achieve long-term non-onset results by accepting science.

You should find a support first, and then put the support in your mouth, because this can prevent yourself from getting hurt, and then immediately call for emergency services**, because this method can save your life, so when you have a seizure, we must pay attention to these aspects.

Know, drink some medicine, stuff something in your mouth and prevent biting your tongue so that you don't get hurt after the seizure.

The causes of growth retardation in children are varied, some are natural processes, some are genetic, and some are diseases. In symptomatic epilepsy, the proportion of developmental delay is significantly higher because the latter is the result of congenital or acquired brain disorders.

If a child is significantly underdeveloped, it is a sign that his nervous system is extensively damaged. Of course, if your child's seizures are frequent and severe, his or her development may be delayed. This is because too much abnormal electrical activity is constantly hindering normal brain function and interfering with the brain's ability to process information from the outside world.

This condition can be reversed by controlling seizures.

Some children with epilepsy have physical retardation and mental retardation, which are caused by epilepsy, and if parents find that their children are behaving abnormally, they should take them to the hospital for examination**. The sooner you have epilepsy, the better, and try to avoid the adverse effects of epilepsy on the growth and development of children.

In this case, as you said, epilepsy is primary and secondary, but it's not the same, but the scheme may be the same.

Of course not, scientific research has proved that when anti-epileptic drugs are used for a long time, there are different degrees of low bone density and abnormal bone metabolism in the body. Medicine has three points of poison, it is recommended that you have some healthy ways to **, such as exercising or eating some **food Normal people eat no one will eat this thing!

Pediatric epilepsy is a complex and reversible neurological syndrome that is common in childhood. Caused by paroxysmal transient brain dysfunction. It is divided into two types: primary and secondary, and the clinical manifestations are reversed muscle twitching and consciousness disorder.

There are two types of seizures: generalized seizures and partial seizures. Electroencephalogram (EEG) has a diagnosis of 50 to 60 for this disease, etc. Reverse behavior has a serious impact on children's intellectual and mental development.

It is mainly caused by the underdevelopment of the nervous system in children, and the cerebral cortex is overexcited by high fever or intense mental **. It is most common in patients with high fever. During convulsions, the vast majority of children are unconscious, the eyes are closed or half-open, the eyes are turned up, the teeth are closed, the corners of the mouth twitch, the head is tilted back, the limbs are repeatedly flexed and extended, and at the same time, due to the stiffness of the chest and abdominal muscles, the breathing is stopped, so the whole body is hypoxic, the lips are blue, and the body is rigid, which lasts for more than ten seconds to 1 2 minutes, but there are also a very small number of children with mild symptoms and clear consciousness.

If the onset of symptoms is not effectively controlled or stopped, it will affect the mental development of later growth.

Male and female students develop at different times, with girls developing earlier. For details, you can ask Sister Du.

Yes, it is recommended to choose a regular hospital to do so, so as not to delay the patient's time.

Epilepsy is a difficult disease, which generally needs to be maintained by long-term medication, and the main emotions can not be too excited, and can not engage in dangerous work.

Epilepsy is a common disease, and a professional epilepsy hospital is the key to epilepsy. Advanced technology, professional physicians, and first-class equipment are beneficial and harmless for the examination of epilepsy. Epilepsy patients must choose the best plan for themselves according to their own conditions.

The dose of the drug should start from the lower limit of the usual dosage and gradually increase to the point where the seizure is well controlled and there is no serious toxicity***. Moreover, the number of doses should be based on the characteristics of the drug and the characteristics of the attack. The dosage of the medicine should also follow the doctor's requirements and recommendations, and do not take the medicine indiscriminately.
