In the clinic, parents are often asked: Is my child epileptic? To answer this question parents must know several key points: 1. Definition of epilepsy: First, it is clear that epilepsy is a disease in which something goes wrong with the brain. The determination of epilepsy requires at least one epileptic seizure, which can be either convulsive or non-convulsive. 2. Epileptic seizure: It is a one-off seizure caused by excessive synchronous discharge of neurons in the brain causing corresponding symptoms and signs. (As the saying goes, the brain is compared to the earth, and an epileptic seizure is an earthquake. (Earthquakes occur in different places and at different times, and the conditions that occur are different). The most frequent manifestations are jerking, and sudden fluttering, among other manifestations. 3, is not epileptic seizures must be recorded with video EEG synchronization, to see the seizure at the same time EEG abnormalities are not abnormal: if the child has a seizure but the same time the EEG has a response change is epileptic seizures. If the child has a seizure but the EEG does not change at the same time, it is not an epileptiform seizure and is medically called a non-epileptiform seizure. 4. A child diagnosed with epilepsy must have seizures without precipitating factors: If your child has seizures with precipitating factors, there are direct triggers, such as seizures caused by hypoglycemia called hypoglycemic seizures and seizures caused by fever called febrile convulsions. 5. Another important point: parents must help the doctor how to dig hard into the child’s medical history to find the possible causes. So please follow the above steps to determine if your child is epileptic, you need to see if there is an unprovoked epileptiform seizure, while the EEG records the abnormal waveform during the seizure, then your child has a high probability of being diagnosed with epilepsy by the doctor.
