Patients with cerebral infarction are already suffering from cerebral ischemia and hypoxia leading to necrosis of part of the brain tissue, and secondary epilepsy can aggravate the cerebral ischemia and hypoxia of the patient.
Epilepsy caused by cerebral infarction as secondary epilepsy can be characterized by loss of consciousness, generalized convulsions, double vision and other epileptic seizures, as well as simple partial seizures and focal partial seizures, which can cause ischemia and hypoxia and aggravate the cerebral infarction. However, the patient may be treated with appropriate medication in time and can be well controlled.
Epilepsy secondary to cerebral infarction usually requires lifelong medication, and drugs such as carbamazepine, levetiracetam, sodium valproate or phenobarbital are given according to the type and severity of epilepsy.
It is recommended to use antiepileptic drugs under the guidance of a doctor and not to take medication without authorization.
