summary

My great aunt suffers from epilepsy, which is particularly frightening when it attacks. She foams at the mouth and is delirious. Recently, my great aunt went to the hospital for treatment. At the same time, the doctor also told us about the specific causes of epilepsy?

What are the specific causes of epilepsy

Etiology 1: epilepsy after craniocerebral trauma is more likely to cause, the longer the coma time is, the more serious the brain parenchymal damage is, the more likely it is to cause. For example, acute intracranial hematoma compression, brain parenchymal damage after edema caused by intracranial pressure, can cause adult epilepsy.

Etiology 2: brain parasitic disease with the progress of society, changes in health symptoms, brain parasitic disease produced by adult epilepsy has been reduced, the disease is mainly prevalent in North China, Northeast China, Yunnan and other places in our country. By eating food or water contaminated by eggs, the eggs enter the body and parasitize in the high cerebral cortex with blood circulation, resulting in adult epilepsy.

Etiology 3: drinking alcohol is also the cause of adult epilepsy, because long-term high-dose drinking can produce gastritis, pancreatitis, liver injury, arrhythmia, hematopoietic function and immune function can be abnormal, cause brain atrophy, lead to adult epilepsy, and even lead to low attention, memory loss may dementia.

matters needing attention

Patients with epilepsy should try to use less excitatory drinks. Therefore, caffeine in this kind of beverage can make brain cells excited, abnormal discharge, make seizures. Should avoid alcohol, drinking can make nervous system highly excited, and reduce the threshold of epileptic focus, easy to induce seizures.
