How to diagnose children's epilepsy

summary

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pathogenesis of epilepsy is caused by wind, fire, phlegm and blood stasis, leading to heart, liver, spleen, kidney and visceral Qi imbalance, and then through a series of complex reactions, resulting in heart failure, while blood stasis and blood stasis are blocked by meridians, phlegm and blood stasis disturbing orifices, eventually leading to seizures. As a more complex disease, how can children's epilepsy be diagnosed?

How to diagnose children's epilepsy

Examination 1: laboratory examination, routine examination of blood, urine and stool, and determination of blood glucose and electrolyte (calcium and phosphorus).

Examination 2: cerebrospinal fluid examination, such as viral encephalitis, white blood cell count increased, protein increased, bacterial infection, and sugar and chloride decreased. There may be eosinophilia in brain parasitosis, and Treponema pallidum antibody is positive in central nervous system syphilis. Intracranial tumors may have increased intracranial pressure and protein.

Examination 3: electrophysiological examination, traditional electroencephalogram recording. For example, subdural electrodes, including wire electrodes and grid electrodes, are placed in the brain where epilepsy may occur.

matters needing attention

We should pay attention to reduce the incidence of epilepsy and neonatal asphyxia.
