What are the characteristics of pediatric epilepsy?

  Epilepsy, commonly known as “sheep’s wind”, is a complex, recurrent neurological syndrome with complex etiology common in pediatrics. It is a convulsive seizure caused by paroxysmal, temporary brain dysfunction. The etiology is divided into primary and secondary. The clinical manifestations are recurrent muscle twitches, transient abnormalities in consciousness, sensation and emotion. It is mainly due to the incomplete development of the pediatric nervous system and excessive abnormal firing of the stimulated cerebral cortex. The majority of children are unconscious, eyes are closed or half-open, eyes are upturned, teeth are closed, corners of the mouth are twitching, head is tilted back, limbs are repeatedly flexed and extended, lips are blue, and the body is tense, lasting from ten seconds to several minutes.  What are the characteristics of pediatric epilepsy?  1. Diversity: The same child can have several different types of seizures.  2. Variability: Some children have variable epilepsy and may have different types of seizures at different times.  The seizures are often incomplete, i.e. they do not show the full course of the seizure, but end at a certain stage of the seizure.  4, atypical: Children’s epilepsy often has variants, such as periodic vomiting, manic laughter, and sudden changes in personality, can be used as a special form of manifestation of children’s epilepsy.  5. Adverse factors easily induced: Children are prone to seizures under the influence of adverse factors (such as fever, irregular life, overeating, etc.).  6. Periodicity: Children with epilepsy without systematic and regular treatment or with frequent seizures (especially after grand mal seizures or the emergence of a persistent state) and long-term uncontrollable seizures have more obvious changes in intelligence and personality, such as manifestations of mental retardation, dullness, retardation, slurred speech, isolation or irritability.
