How to distinguish epilepsy from convulsion

summary

I often hear about the word "goat's horn Mania". It seems that it's a very difficult disease to cure. The patient will twitch from time to time. When I was playing on the road yesterday, I saw such a person. I don't know if this is the case. Now I'd like to know how to distinguish goat's horn mania from convulsion.

How to distinguish epilepsy from convulsion

First, the simplest difference between convulsion and epilepsy is whether there is high fever in essence, followed by electroencephalogram and other examinations. Epilepsy is a chronic disease of transient brain dysfunction caused by sudden abnormal discharge of brain neurons. The occurrence of infantile convulsion is caused by convulsion and high fever convulsion due to poor brain development.

Secondly, the etiology of epilepsy is complex and diverse, including genetic factors, brain diseases, systemic or systemic diseases. Genetic factor genetic factor is an important cause of epilepsy, especially idiopathic epilepsy. Molecular genetic studies have found that the molecular mechanism of some hereditary epilepsy is ion channel.

Third, 2 months to 6 years old baby high fever easily cause convulsions, among them, 1 to 2 years old is the predilection age, this age first occurrence of high fever convulsions, often simple majority. The first onset after 3 years old is more complicated and more likely to turn into epilepsy. Neonatal fever convulsions, not called febrile convulsions.

matters needing attention

The above is the difference between them. In fact, no matter what the disease is, we should pay special attention to it. If we find problems, we should check them in time, and then treat them. The earlier we find them, the easier it is to cure them. After the baby is 6 years old, if the simple convulsion will disappear naturally, if there is still convulsion, it must be complex convulsion.
