Son recently keeps trembling all over sometimes falls to the ground and wakes up not knowing what happened, we are very scared went to the hospital the doctor said it's childhood tics, I want to know if this childhood tics has anything to do with epilepsy.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, in fact, Tourette syndrome in children and epilepsy are two unrelated diseases. They are similar only in the symptoms they exhibit during onset. Tourette syndrome in children is primarily a childhood disorder characterized by motor behavior abnormalities caused by neurofunctional defects. Its main manifestations include: squinting, grimacing, winking, shaking the head, clearing the throat, shrugging the shoulders, waving the hands, nodding, kicking legs, twisting the body, and saying vulgar words, as well as some involuntary muscle twitches. Epilepsy, also known as "fainting wind," is a disease caused by sudden abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to temporary brain dysfunction. It can be diagnosed by checking brain waves for epileptic activity through an electroencephalogram (EEG).
