How to determine if a person has epilepsy

Patient's question:

Patient is male, 1.5 years old, and previously in good health. Current condition: Occasionally, the patient will forcefully lower their head and tightly clench their toes, bending them with effort. Additionally, no response is observed when called. This may occur 3 to 4 times a day.

Doctor's answer:

1. EEG, BEAM, Holter (Electroencephalogram, Brain Electric Activity Mapping, Ambulatory Electroencephalogram Monitoring): Visible clear pathological waves, spikes, sharp waves, spike-slow waves, or sharp-slow waves.
2. If it is secondary epilepsy, further examinations such as head CT, head MRI, MRA, and DSA can reveal corresponding lesions. We know that pediatric epilepsy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is very rapid, which can bring great harm to the patient. Therefore, it is important to seek timely treatment at a professional hospital for standardized treatment. This is the key.
