Epilepsy is caused by various different factors, but the exact cause is often difficult to identify in most patients, especially in childhood epilepsy. The high-risk factors for epilepsy are as follows:1. Neurological diseases such as cortical developmental disorders, brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases (stroke, arteriovenous malformations, cavernous angiomas, etc.), brain trauma, intracranial infections, neurocutaneous syndromes (tuberous sclerosis), and others.
2. Other diseases such as metabolic disorders, hereditary diseases, persistent nausea and vomiting, colds, infections, fever, changes in blood sugar and electrolytes, etc.
3. Improper treatment, such as sudden medication reduction or discontinuation, significant weight changes in a short period, or taking certain medications.
