How to diagnose lamb madness in the early stage

First, for patients with the first onset of leprosy, it is necessary to exclude symptomatic seizures caused by various diseases, such as hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, liver and kidney failure, hypertensive encephalopathy and encephalitis, as well as seizures caused by drugs or poisons.

Second, to obtain a detailed and complete seizure history is the key to the accurate diagnosis of epilepsy. EEG examination is the most important means of diagnosis of seizures and epilepsy, and is helpful to the classification of seizures and epilepsy. EEG should be performed in all patients suspected of epilepsy.

Third: neuroimaging examination. It is helpful for the diagnosis and classification of epilepsy and epilepsy syndrome. Sometimes it can make etiological diagnosis, such as intracranial tumor, heterotopic gray matter and so on. MRI is more sensitive, especially coronal and hippocampal volume measurement can better show temporal lobe and hippocampal lesions. Functional imaging examination. For example, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) can reflect the local metabolic changes of brain from different angles and assist the localization of epileptic focus.

matters needing attention

In the early stage of epilepsy, because the symptoms are not very obvious, we often ignore, but we don't know that in this way, we may miss the best treatment time. The diagnosis of epilepsy needs to be combined with the patient's condition and EEG and other examination results.
