What symptom does epilepsy have

summary

Shopping with friends, I don't know what's going on. Suddenly, she fainted, convulsed, and even froth at the mouth. It took her a long time to wake up. This situation is obviously epilepsy. Now let me talk about the symptoms of epilepsy.

What symptom does epilepsy have

First: ankylosis attack: it is characterized by intense and continuous contraction of the whole body or bilateral muscles, and muscle rigidity, which makes the limbs and body fixed in a certain tense posture, such as axial body extension, back flexion or forward flexion. It usually lasts from several seconds to tens of seconds, but generally not more than one minute. Tonic seizures are more common in epilepsy patients with diffuse organic brain damage, which is generally a sign of serious illness, mainly in children, such as Lennox Gastaut syndrome.

Second: spasm: refers to infantile spasm, manifested as sudden, transient trunk muscle and bilateral limb tonic flexion or extensional contraction, mostly manifested as paroxysmal nodding, occasionally paroxysmal backward. The whole process of muscle contraction is about 1 ~ 3 seconds, often in clusters. It is commonly seen in West syndrome and other infantile syndromes.

Third: dystonic attack: it is due to the sudden loss of muscle tension of both sides or the whole body, resulting in the inability to maintain the original posture, sudden collapse, limb drop and other manifestations. The attack time is relatively short, lasting for several seconds to more than 10 seconds, and the attack lasting for a short time is not accompanied by obvious disturbance of consciousness. Dystonic seizures often occur alternately with tonic seizures and atypical absence seizures in epilepsy with diffuse brain damage, such as Lennox Gastaut syndrome, doose syndrome (myoclonic dysfunctional epilepsy) and early stage of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. However, there are also some patients with only dystonic episodes, the etiology is unknown.

matters needing attention

It is because many patients did not find the existence of the disease as soon as possible, it is too late to wait until the onset of the disease is very serious, so we have to pay attention to it, it is necessary to properly understand some symptoms of epilepsy, and it is also very important to exercise more.
