Recently, Hope’s academic performance has been falling apart. The teacher noticed that she was often distracted in class. When her mother found out, she talked to Yuan Yuan: “Did you have a fight with your child?” “No, I’m not. I’m very good in class,” Yuan Yuan suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence, her mouth half-open and frozen, only her eyes were still blinking. After a few seconds, she made another sound: “Seriously. It’s just that lately I keep feeling that many of the test contents have not been taught by the teacher.” In fact, Yuan Yuan had been suddenly dazed like this both when she was eating and when she was writing her homework. Every time she asked, she always looked surprised and denied ever wandering off. Mom just thought something was on her mind. It wasn’t until July when they went to the park to play badminton that Hope’s behavior scared her mom. At that time, Yuan Yuan saw the ball flying over the net and was ready to hit it back, but when she raised her racket above her head, the action suddenly stopped. It was like she was “fixed” and stood still. Her mother then took her to the hospital for a checkup. Yuan Yuan was suffering from epilepsy. “She often stops in the middle of a movement, as if she suddenly lost her mind.” When Yuan Yuan’s mother thought back to her daughter’s abnormal behavior, she couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air. She never thought that her daughter was suffering from epilepsy. People usually only know that twitching of limbs is a symptom of seizure, commonly known as “grand mal”. In fact, dazedness is also a common symptom of epilepsy, especially in preschool children, who often just stop moving suddenly during a seizure, known as a seizure of disorientation, which used to be called a “petit mal”. They are not conscious at all during the seizure, so they do not feel that they have been dazed. In a typical aphasic seizure, their eyelids twitch 3 times per second, and they look like they are thinking about something, which can be easily ignored by people around them. After treatment, Hope has not had a seizure for two months.
