Patient's question:
My child often experiences the symptoms of staring and head shaking again. He himself feels powerless to suppress them, and they recur quite frequently every day. Sometimes, the child also becomes dazed and vacant, with a vacant stare. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as epilepsy. I want to understand what the symptoms of childhood absence epilepsy seizures are. What kind of help is needed: What are the symptoms of childhood absence epilepsy seizures?Doctor's answer:
Absence seizures primarily manifest as sudden recurrence of epilepsy, with the patient's training abruptly stopping, staring, and showing no response to others' speech. They also end quite suddenly. Absence seizures last for a very short duration, typically not exceeding one minute, and are more common in children. Epilepsy is a very common disease, affected by various different factors, making it difficult to treat. The most appropriate treatment method must be determined based on the patient's specific condition.
