Will children with epilepsy grow up to be well

Some types of epilepsy, such as benign pediatric epilepsy, can be controlled with regular medication and the gradual development of a well-developed nervous system. If a child has recurrent seizures, parents need to go to the hospital to get a clear diagnosis so that they can understand the prognosis of the disease. The common types of childhood epilepsy: 1. Benign pediatric epilepsy: is one of the common epilepsy syndromes in the pediatric period, accounting for about 1/5 of pediatric epilepsy, with a genetic tendency, mostly starting at the age of 5 to 10. The epilepsy is closely related to sleep and presents with simple partial action seizures that often generalize to generalized seizures and do not affect the child’s intellectual development. There is a significant increase in the issuance of chronic sleep periods, with a good prognosis, and seizures often stop before the age of 15. 2, generalized tonic spasm seizures: also known as grand mal seizures, manifested as a sudden loss of consciousness, followed by generalized forced spastic seizures, with apnea, etc. 3, persistent status epilepticus: lasts more than 30 minutes, or repeated seizures, during which consciousness does not return. 4. Children with epilepsy with loss of consciousness: suddenly suspend the ongoing activity and stare, usually recovering in 5-15 seconds, can continue the activity before the seizure, and cannot recall the seizure afterwards. If a child is found to have symptoms of seizures, he or she needs to be seen by a hospital promptly. Early medication is needed to prevent unnecessary damage. Although benign pediatric epilepsy will stop seizures when they grow up, they also need timely medication during childhood seizures to avoid leaving sequelae.
