What are the symptoms of pediatric epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder with the highest prevalence in children under one year of age. The manifestations of epileptic seizures are varied, but all of them are characterized by sudden onset, sudden stop and periodic seizures. So, what are the clinical manifestations of the onset of pediatric epilepsy? Summarized the following six points: 1, early symptoms of childhood epilepsy Early symptoms of childhood epilepsy: the child’s head sweats a lot during feeding and sleeping, and due to the stimulation of sweat, the affected child likes to shake his head. When shaking the head, the pillow is rubbed, which causes hair loss over time. In addition, the child is irritable and wakes up easily during sleep. 2.Children’s grand mal seizure (also known as generalized tonic clonic seizure) During a grand mal seizure, there is a sudden loss of consciousness, generalized tonic clonic jerking, apnea, foaming at the mouth, and twitching of the limbs, which may be accompanied by tongue biting and urinary incontinence. It lasts for 1 to 5 minutes and sleeps after the jerking stops. After waking up, headache, weakness, no memory of the seizure. 3.Children’s epileptic seizures (also known as simple partial motor seizures) manifested as the opposite side of the lesion corners of the mouth, eyelids, fingers, toes, or one side of the face and the end of the limbs short bursts of convulsions or numbness and tingling. The twitch may sometimes extend from the fingers to the upper limb to the opposite side. Symptoms last for more than a few minutes. There is no loss of consciousness during the seizure. 4.Myoclonic seizure children manifested as a piece of muscle or muscle group suddenly, forcefully, rapidly twitching, some localized, some can cause one or both limbs twitching, twitching in the hand when the things dropped or thrown out. When the trunk muscles are involved, the performance of sudden and frequent forceful nodding, bending over or leaning back, and sudden fall when standing. 5.Children’s disoriented epilepsy Disoriented petit mal seizures occurring at the age of 5-7 years, manifested as a sudden onset and sudden discontinuation of transient disorders of consciousness, without twitching. During the seizure, the child will be still, slightly pale, speech activity is suspended, the hand can not hold objects, sometimes unsteady. The attacks are frequent and the intelligence is normal. Generally lasts from 2 to 15 seconds. 6, febrile convulsions Special and common epileptic syndromes in pediatrics. Most often in 6 months to 3 years of age of infants and young children, these children in the emergence of fever convulsions before no neurological symptoms, all aspects of the situation is good. When fever develops due to certain triggers, the child develops generalized convulsions when the body temperature reaches 38.5-40°C or higher. There is twitching all around, upturning of both eyeballs, cyanosis around the mouth, confusion, and sometimes incontinence. The simple type of febrile convulsive seizures lasts no more than ten minutes, occurs only once on the first day of hyperthermia, and is not drowsy after relief. The complex type of attack lasts a long time, and a single fever may cause two and more attacks. There is a clear genetic predisposition to febrile convulsions. Warm reminder: pediatric epilepsy is a chronic disease that can be delayed until the child grows into adulthood, so the disease can cause serious physical and psychological damage to the patient. Parents who find that their children have symptoms of epilepsy should receive treatment as soon as possible to avoid repeated delays in the condition.
