What are the diagnostic methods of epilepsy in women

summary

Originally, I made an appointment with my best friend at 10 o'clock to meet in the coffee shop we often go to, but she didn't show up when it was time. I called him and she said it was the traffic jam over there. It seemed that a girl had a sudden seizure of epilepsy. Now let's talk about the diagnostic methods for female epilepsy.

What are the diagnostic methods of epilepsy in women

First: epilepsy laboratory examination, blood biochemical examination, according to age, condition, epilepsy diagnosis need to choose different items. There are blood calcium, magnesium, sodium, blood glucose, blood bilirubin, blood gas analysis, blood lactic acid, blood ammonia, liver function and so on. Cerebrospinal fluid examination is mainly to exclude intracranial infection, intracranial hemorrhage and other diseases.

Second: physical examination. Like other diseases, physical examination of epileptic patients includes general condition, skin, mucous membrane, lymph nodes, head, eyes, ears, mouth, neck, chest, abdomen, external genitalia, anus, spine and limbs, etc., but the focus should be on the nervous system. We should pay attention to the mental state and intelligence of patients with epilepsy, and also pay attention to whether the speech of patients with epilepsy is normal, especially whether the head is too small or too large.

Third: EEG is an important method for the diagnosis of epilepsy. EEG detection can help us determine whether a patient is suffering from epilepsy. According to statistics, about 80% of epileptic patients have abnormal EEG, while only about 5% - 20% of epileptic patients have normal EEG during the interictal period. If we can repeat the examination and use appropriate induction test and special electrode, the detection rate can be increased Especially for atypical epileptic seizures, the importance of EEG detection is more prominent.

matters needing attention

The above is a simple summary of some diagnostic methods of female epilepsy, the most important of which is EEG examination, because it can clearly distinguish whether the brain wave is abnormal, so as to judge whether she has epilepsy.
