What are the symptoms of recurrent epilepsy

summary

My uncle has been suffering from epilepsy for a long time. Although he has been receiving treatment, the situation has not improved. Instead, he has frequent seizures. After going to the hospital for examination, he learned that it belongs to recurrent epilepsy. Today, let me talk about the symptoms of recurrent epilepsy.

What are the symptoms of recurrent epilepsy

First, epilepsy is a chronic recurrent transient brain dysfunction syndrome. It is characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal discharge of brain neurons. Epilepsy is one of the common diseases of nervous system, the prevalence rate is second only to stroke. The incidence rate of epilepsy is related to age. The type of attack was local attack with or without consciousness damage. During the interictal period, epileptic activity could be seen in one temporal region, which was more closely related to the right temporal region.

Second: the disease is age-related idiopathic local, if there is no secondary systemic attack, it is often not diagnosed or mistaken for tic. Secondary reading epilepsy is often accompanied by spontaneous seizures, mainly generalized convulsive seizures, generally without jaw twitch, background EEG is often abnormal, epilepsy like electrical activity can be seen between seizures, and brain injury can be found in imaging. The patient often has a family history of epilepsy.

Third: the types of reflex or spontaneous seizures include bilateral myoclonus, absence or tonic clonic seizures, with few local seizures. The recurrence of many epilepsy patients is related to the failure of comprehensive and thorough treatment. Some patients after a period of Chinese and Western medicine treatment, attack is basically controlled, often interrupt treatment. Epilepsy has certain inducing factors, specific inducing factors vary from person to person.
