What is the main cause of epilepsy

summary

Now there are more and more patients with epilepsy in our life. Sometimes we can see people who suddenly get sick on the road. Let's share with you the main causes of epilepsy.

What is the main cause of epilepsy

Reason 1: most of the causes of epilepsy are caused by abnormal brain discharge, whether genetic or acquired. Brain tumor: brain tumor cells themselves do not have epileptic discharge. Due to the swelling growth of the tumor, the surrounding brain tissue and blood vessels are compressed, resulting in brain edema, swelling, hypoxia, ischemia, brain tissue sclerosis and atrophy. The abnormal metabolism of these pathological neurons, the change of membrane potential and the abnormal discharge under the stimulation of endogenous or exogenous factors are the causes of juvenile epilepsy.

Reason 2: craniocerebral trauma: there is a certain probability of epilepsy after trauma. The longer the coma time is, the more serious the brain parenchymal injury is and the higher the incidence is. For example, intracranial hematoma compression in the acute stage, intracranial hypertension caused by edema after brain parenchymal injury, can lead to adolescent epilepsy, brain atrophy after craniocerebral surgery injury, brain contusion and laceration, resulting in insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain, brain cell dysfunction, which is also the cause of adolescent epilepsy.

The third reason: brain parasitic disease: with the development of society and the improvement of health conditions, epilepsy caused by brain parasitic disease has decreased, which is mainly prevalent in North China, Northeast China, Yunnan and other places. Due to eating food or water contaminated by eggs, eggs enter the body and parasitize the cerebral cortex with blood circulation. Brain parasitic disease is the cause of adolescent epilepsy.

matters needing attention

You can't limit the attack. When the patient convulses, others can't press or bend his body. And patients in life to maintain a good mood, do not care too much about trivial things in life, do not eat very greasy food.
