1. What is epilepsy? Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder caused by multiple etiologies and characterized by recurrent, seizure and transient central nervous system malfunctions caused by abnormal and excessive hyper-synchronized neuronal discharges in the brain. 2. Common causes? Epilepsy beginning in the neonatal period is commonly caused by perinatal brain injury, such as intracranial hemorrhage, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and also congenital brain hypoplasia and inherited metabolic diseases; from February to June, the onset of the disease is commonly associated with metabolic abnormalities, birth injuries, developmental malformations, and brain degenerative diseases; from July to 3 years of age, intracranial infections, brain degenerative diseases, and idiopathic epilepsy are common; after 3 years of age, idiopathic epilepsy, The clinical picture of pediatric epilepsy is very clear. 3. What are the clinical manifestations of pediatric epilepsy? The clinical manifestations of epilepsy are complex and varied. The common ones are loss of consciousness, restricted or generalized tonic or clonic muscle convulsions and sensory abnormalities. 4. How to diagnose pediatric epilepsy? A detailed history, description and documentation of clinical seizures are very important. It is recommended that parents who are able to do so should be able to record their child’s seizures, which can help the physician make a clinical diagnosis, and an EEG is necessary, perhaps not even once. In addition, according to the specific condition of the child, cranial MRI, blood biochemistry, genetic metabolic screening should be improved in order to better define the cause. 5.What are the diseases that need to be identified? Hypocalcemic convulsions, hypoglycemic convulsions, breath-holding seizures, syncopal seizures, paroxysmal dyskinesia, sleep disorders, oculoclonus myoclonus, paroxysmal squint, non-epileptiform tonic seizures, etc. 6. What are the principles of treating pediatric epilepsy? The basic principle of epilepsy treatment is to select drugs according to seizure types and syndromes, try to monotherapy, slow reduction and discontinuation, regular testing of blood levels and evaluation of drug side effects. The following factors are also considered: age, contraindications, safety and tolerability of the drug, time to treatment, number of doses and appropriate dosage form, drug-drug interactions and cost. It is recommended that regular hospital treatment. 7. Is epilepsy incurable? Pediatric epilepsy is curable, with a cure rate of about 70-80%, and generally takes 2-5 years. The type of seizures, whether the medication is standardized and reasonable, and the remission of seizures after medication are the main factors affecting the prognosis of epilepsy. Intellectual lag and physical developmental lag are common concomitant symptoms of epilepsy, and these are usually related to the cause of epilepsy. 8. What should parents pay attention to during the treatment process? The patient should be given regular and timely medication, regular EEG and blood concentration tests, and a reasonable timing and dose of anti-epileptic drugs. In case of acute seizures, the child should be placed in a flat place with the head tilted to the side to avoid accidental aspiration of secretions, press the human center, call the emergency phone, etc. The correct treatment should be given to the regular hospital. In principle, vaccination can be withheld during the acute period, especially for the prevention of central nervous system diseases, and the status of the child should be taken into consideration. Most children with well-controlled seizures can engage in normal schooling and appropriate physical and cultural activities, preferably with family and teachers, to avoid excessive stress and excitement. However, children with frequent seizures and poorly controlled medication should not engage in physical activity. Epilepsy is not an incurable disease, and having the disease does not mean being inferior. The first thing to do is to start with the parents and overcome the psychology of nervousness and low self-esteem.
