Patient's question:
Due to epilepsy occurring after suffering from polio for 33 years, there is no self-care ability, with both minor and major seizures occurring. Western medicine treatment is poor, and the general condition is still acceptable. 33 years of medical history, with poor treatment from Western medicine.Doctor's answer:
Types of seizures in children's epilepsy differ from those in adults. The brains of children are in a developmental stage, with unique physiological and anatomical, as well as biochemical characteristics. For example, the central nervous system is immature, neurons themselves are unstable, neurotransmitter release is unbalanced, and they are more susceptible to stimuli and convulsions. Localization signs, spread extent, and etiology of seizures in children are all age-dependent. Therefore, the types of seizures in pediatric epilepsy differ from those in adults, with some types existing only in pediatric epilepsy, such as absence seizures and infantile spasms.Treatment for children's epilepsy differs from that for adults. Children with epilepsy are in a developmental stage with faster metabolism, so their medication dosage is typically higher than that of adult epilepsy patients. Additionally, the treatment of pediatric epilepsy not only aims to control seizures but also requires comprehensive regulation of the child's body to ensure healthy physical development and growth, without affecting their future.
