What are the aftereffects after curing epilepsy?

Patient's question:

When my son was in primary school, he suddenly had a full-body seizure and later fell into a coma. The teacher quickly sent him to the hospital for treatment. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor said my child had epilepsy. After a period of treatment, my son's epilepsy was cured.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend. 1. Intellectual disability, in children with epilepsy, the incidence of intellectual disability is much higher than in normal children. Intellectual disability is closely related to some special syndromes, but in some cases, it has little impact. 2. Developmental delay, this mainly refers to the development of children with epilepsy being slower than that of their peers, or even developmental stagnation. This sequelae is mainly seen in children with epilepsy who also have abnormal brain development.
