Epilepsy is a seizure disorder, and seizures cause the most damage to patients because they are out of control and vulnerable to outside harm. If we can understand the causes of seizures, we can reduce the probability of seizures, and we will introduce the causes of seizures. What are the causes of seizures? 1, infection In the acute phase of various encephalitis, meningitis, brain abscess, congestion, edema, the impact of toxins and exudates in the blood can cause seizures, and the scars and adhesions formed after healing may also become epileptic foci; parasites, such as cerebral schistosomiasis, cerebral cysticercosis often cause epilepsy. 2, poisoning Lead, mercury, carbon monoxide, ethanol and other poisoning, as well as systemic diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, hypertensive syndrome, acute nephritis, uremia, etc., can cause seizures. 3, congenital diseases such as chromosomal abnormalities, hereditary metabolic disorders, brain malformations and congenital hydrocephalus, etc. 4, Trauma Cranial birth injury is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infancy. Contusions, hemorrhage and ischemia can also lead to localized brain tissue softening, which later becomes an epileptic focus. Epilepsy occurs in about 5% of adults after closed traumatic brain injury; more severe and open traumatic brain injury occurs, up to about 30%. The above are some of the most common causes of seizures, for some of the above causes, we should do a good job of scientific prevention in our daily lives. The most important thing is to pay more attention to the daily care, especially for children and the elderly, to pay special attention to the prevention of epilepsy.
