Understanding the prognosis of epilepsy

    The prognosis of epilepsy is the empirically predicted progression of the epileptic condition. And the prognostic considerations of epilepsy is a systematic understanding of the factors that influence the prognosis of epilepsy, which is important for the comprehensive treatment of the patient. This is why prognostic considerations for epilepsy are something that every patient and physician should take seriously.    So what is the prognosis for epilepsy?    1. Traumatic epilepsy. The prognosis of traumatic epilepsy is determined by the location and nature of the trauma, the duration of the coma, the degree of brain injury with or without intracranial infection, and other factors. Seizures that occur within minutes of milder head trauma usually have only one seizure and no further seizures, which has the best prognosis. Patients who have only a few seizures after trauma have a good prognosis.    2. Epilepsy caused by cerebrovascular disease. The main cause is cerebrovascular disease (such as cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, etc.), a few brain tumors or brain metastases. It is believed that cerebrovascular disease causes epilepsy with a low incidence and a poor prognosis, with complete remission in about 60% of patients and a low recurrence rate. However, it has been reported that those with epilepsy born during the acute phase of cerebrovascular disease, especially supratentorial cerebral infarction, have a poor prognosis, with a recurrence rate of up to 60%. The mortality rate of those with epilepsy in the acute phase of cerebral infarction is 30%.    3. Epilepsy caused by brain tumors. The prognosis depends on the nature, location, size and eradication of the tumor; on the other hand, even if the tumor is eradicated, the scar left behind by the surgery can still become an epileptogenic focus. On the other hand, even if the tumor is eradicated, the surgical scar can still become the epileptogenic focus. However, the prognosis of epilepsy caused by metastatic brain tumor is definitely bad. 4. Epilepsy caused by encephalitis. The acute phase of encephalitis is often accompanied by different degrees of seizures, and some patients with encephalitis can also have seizures after they are cured. The patient is usually taking anti-epileptic drugs to control the seizures and the prognosis is relatively good. It has been reported that in patients with encephalitis and meningitis with epilepsy, 53.3% of patients with encephalitis or meningitis can have their seizures completely relieved after healing.    5. Epilepsy caused by cerebral cysticercosis. Cysticercosis is a common cause of epilepsy in adults, and 50%-70% of patients with cysticercosis have seizures. The prognosis of epilepsy caused by cerebral cysticercosis is key to anti-cysticercosis treatment.    To make a good prognosis, patients are also required to do these: 1. The diet should be light and non-stimulating. The diet of epilepsy patients should be light, especially for spicy and stimulating food should be prohibited, because spicy food may stimulate the epilepsy patients, and then prompt seizures. Fresh vegetables and fruits, appropriate coarse grains to supplement energy.    2, epilepsy patients should do what they can. How to do a good prognosis of epilepsy, epilepsy patients to do what they can, do not do something that makes them feel afraid of fear, like walking at night, climbing, bungee jumping, etc., play heartbeat and practice courage, as long as they can not afford to do things do not force to do, so as not to do things well, but also triggered a seizure.    3, epilepsy patients to have a good state of mind. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.    4, appropriate physical exercise.
