Patient's question:
As a recurring disease, pediatric epilepsy causes serious harm to children. So, what are the severe hazards of pediatric epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pediatric epilepsy can cause many harms to children, such as affecting their quality of life, life skills, and relatively lower intellectual abilities, with a large part of these issues stemming from social and psychological factors. It can also impact the child's quality of life during their childhood and even into adulthood. The dangers of pediatric epilepsy also include the risk of severe brain hypoxia due to recurrent seizures, which can damage brain function. Some seizures may lead to accidental injuries, such as falls, resulting in brain trauma and injuries to other parts of the body.
