Patient's question:
When the child was eight months old, they only nodded. CT and MRI results showed the diagnosis of cerebral cortical dysplasia, and the EEG indicated partial recurrence. The Children's Hospital of Xi'an diagnosed the condition as infantile spasms.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is generally caused by abnormal discharges of bioelectricity in the brain, leading to abnormal activity and dysfunction of brain cells. It is related to factors such as genetics or postnatal trauma, infection, etc. It is recommended to persist in taking antiepileptic drugs, such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, and diazepam, while combining traditional Chinese medicine treatments like the sour jujube seed decoction, anshen bubaile liquid, acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. It is also advisable to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain a positive mindset.We know that infantile spasms can cause significant harm to children. If left untreated or if the wrong treatment methods are used, the condition progresses rapidly, posing great harm to young children. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
