What reason is got epilepsy

summary

Epilepsy in children is a common disease in children, the etiology is more complex, and this epilepsy disease will be repeated attacks, there will be paroxysmal temporary brain dysfunction caused by nervous system syndrome, the etiology is divided into primary and secondary two kinds, the etiology of epilepsy in children is perinatal ischemia and hypoxia, cortical dysplasia, low-grade glioma, brain tumor trauma, etc Epilepsy this disease must cause attention, the best is to be able to timely treatment, do not delay the treatment time, bring serious harm to children. Now let's talk about it.

What reason is got epilepsy

First: from neonatal period to adolescence, the structure and function of nervous system are in the process of rapid development and shaping. Therefore, epilepsy in different age groups is different from adults in many aspects, such as etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and prognosis. The etiology and clinical manifestations of epilepsy in children are diverse, so we should try our best to make etiological diagnosis and choose appropriate treatment. Especially under 6 years old, is the key period of brain development, it is suggested to actively control seizures, in order to facilitate the growth and development of children.

Second: the main causes of epilepsy in children are perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage, mainly birth injury, asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, among which the most common cause of epilepsy is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Congenital malformations of brain development, such as anencephaly, megagyrus, multicentric gyrus, gray matter heterotopia, cerebral perforating malformation, congenital hydrocephalus, agenesis of corpus callosum, arachnoid cyst, megacephaly.

Third: neurocutaneous syndrome, is also the most common, tuberous sclerosis, facial hemangioma disease, genetic metabolic disease, can also lead to childhood epilepsy, such as phenylketonuria, hyperammonemia, cerebral lipid deposition, vitamin B6 dependence, intracranial infection, etc., can cause childhood epilepsy.

matters needing attention

The etiology of children with epilepsy is very complex, for children with epilepsy should be paid great attention, the best is timely treatment, so as to avoid the impact of epilepsy on children, epilepsy will occur repeatedly, in the treatment period is the need for long-term use of antiepileptic drugs, in order to control the seizure of epilepsy.
