What are the causes of the disease

summary

I am a patient with epilepsy. When I have an attack, I will shout. My family is very afraid of me. Some children of my relatives say that I have mental illness. I am very sad. Fortunately, after treatment, I have improved. What are the causes of this disease? Now let's take a look at it!

What are the causes of the disease

Etiology 1: common hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia, hypomagnesemia, vitamin deficiency, hypothyroidism and other nutritional and metabolic disorders and endocrine diseases are also causes of epilepsy in children. In addition, brain injury after trauma and febrile seizures can also lead to the onset of epilepsy in children.

Cause 2: this kind of patients often have congenital brain malformation. If there is no congenital malformation of brain development, then it is gray matter heterotopia. In addition, patients may have neurocutaneous syndrome. The most common neurocutaneous syndrome is tuberous sclerosis, neurofibromatosis and cerebral trigeminal angiomatosis.

Cause 3: hereditary metabolic disease. If patients over rely on phenylketonuria, hyperammonemia, cerebral lipidosis, vitamins, it is likely to get epilepsy. In addition, there is a special perinatal brain injury caused by epilepsy in children.

matters needing attention

"Eugenics" has been the call of our country for many years. Only by doing this can we reduce the occurrence of various diseases. When choosing a spouse, epileptic patients should avoid marrying people with family history of epilepsy, forbid close relatives to marry, and forbid both men and women with a history of primary epilepsy to marry.
