When a child has a convulsive seizure, other seizure symptoms similar to seizures need to be ruled out first (non-epileptic psychosomatic seizures, migraines, physiologic seizure events and transient or intermittent symptoms due to cardiogenic, metabolic, cerebral or other neurological disorders that resemble seizures). Once the diagnosis of epilepsy is clear, parents are concerned about what to do when their child has a seizure. How often will seizures occur? How can seizures be prevented? To anticipate the next seizure, it is important to have a good understanding of the diagnosis, types of seizures, seizure syndromes, causes, and triggers. While some children may have only a few seizures in their lifetime with the same diagnosis of “epilepsy,” others may have hundreds of seizures per day; some children have seizures that stop as they get older without medication, while others have frequent seizures that cannot be controlled with medication, ketogenics, or even surgery. Examples of several epilepsy syndromes with different seizure frequencies and characteristics are given to share with parents the relationship between the need to diagnose epilepsy syndromes and seizure frequency: Childhood epilepsy with loss of consciousness, which mostly develops between the ages of 4 and 10 years, with a peak incidence between the ages of 5 and 6 years. Kozhevnikov partial status epilepticus, which has seizures ranging in age from very young to very old, manifests as regular or irregular clonic muscle twitches lasting a few milliseconds each, but occurring almost every second of the week, every day, and every hour. Overall, the disease has a poor prognosis, with most patients being accompanied by intractable persistent epilepsy and the development of neurological and psychiatric deficits. The good news is that the prevalence in the population is very low, less than one in a million. Benign childhood epilepsy with spikes in the central temporal region has an onset between 1 and 14 years of age, with a peak incidence between 8 and 9 years of age. This type of epilepsy accounts for 15% of children aged 1 to 15 years who have seizures. Throughout the course of the disease, most children have fewer than 10 seizures, 10% to 20% have only one in their lifetime, and about 20% have frequent seizures, but the seizures can remit with age. The above examples of several epilepsy syndromes show that the frequency of seizures can be very frequent to hundreds of times a day or may only occur a few times in a lifetime; some seizure types may last for weeks, while others can stop only between seconds; some epilepsies cannot be completely controlled even after exhausting all current antiepileptic treatment techniques, while some epilepsies gradually get better naturally with age. Therefore, the determination of seizure frequency is based on the correct diagnosis of epilepsy, and the correct classification of epilepsy syndromes.
