Second: retardation of development: the development of children with epilepsy is later than that of children of the same age, and even the phenomenon of development stagnation occurs. This kind of sequelae is mainly seen in children with epilepsy and brain dysplasia.

Third: epileptic encephalopathy: the treatment of epilepsy should not be interrupted, or repeated attacks, patients with strong convulsions can lead to excessive consumption of body energy, resulting in cerebral ischemia, edema, hypoxia, accumulation of toxic substances in the body, which eventually leads to irreversible damage to brain tissue.
