Why do some children get epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a sudden, transient, and intermittent neurological disease. Some epilepsy is congenital, that is, genetic. The risk of childhood disease may increase many times if a patient's close relatives are married or if both men and women are primary patients. Epilepsy is also predisposed if it is acquired, such as from mood disorders, eating disorders, overexertion or nerve irritation, or secondary to other illnesses (eg, brain abscess, meningitis, brain trauma).

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease caused by a variety of causes. It is characterized by repetitive, paroxysmal and transient central nervous system dysfunction caused by excessive discharge of brain neurons. During an epileptic seizure, the patient loses consciousness, closes his teeth, and convulses his whole body. At this time, things entering the mouth are prone to aspiration or even suffocation, which is a very dangerous behavior. As for using vegetables and grass to treat epilepsy, that's a joke.

Birth trauma: is a common cause of symptomatic epilepsy in infants. Causes of birth injuries include forceps-assisted delivery, fetal head suction, cephalopelvic disproportion, abnormal fetal position, oversized fetus, prolonged labor, overage of first-time mothers, tight birth canal and other congenital factors: brain malformation, hydrocephalus, Congenital diseases such as chromosomal abnormalities, as well as fetal damage to the mother before birth, can cause abnormal brain development and postnatal epilepsy, such as abdominal injury, uterine bleeding, ultraviolet radiation, taking drugs harmful to the fetus, various microorganisms, especially Rubella, measles virus and Toxoplasma gondii infection. Brain diseases: Brain hypoplasia, brain growth retardation, brain atrophy, various encephalitis, meningitis, and brain abscess patients, some may have sequelae of epilepsy after recovery; cerebral schistosomiasis and cysticercosis can cause epilepsy. The incidence of fetal asphyxia, umbilical cord around the neck, placental abruption, placenta previa, umbilical cord prolapse, and cesarean section has increased significantly.

After pregnancy, epileptic seizures increase by 45 years old. This is due to fluid retention after pregnancy, accelerated metabolism of drugs in the liver, increased fetal arrangement and placental simplicity, and decreased serum concentrations of antiepileptic drugs. The frequency of seizures is closely related to the severity of the seizures and the level of pre-pregnancy epilepsy treatment. It is calculated that if there are no more than 9 seizures, only 25% of the seizures increase during the first month of pregnancy. Of course, there are also pregnant women whose epilepsy cannot be well controlled.
