Patient's question:
My daughter is over 5 years old. While walking or playing, she occasionally suddenly stops moving, her eyes roll back, and she appears vacant for about 2 to 7 seconds. This happens about 20 to 30 times a day. After an episode, when I ask her what she was doing, she says she doesn't know. She has no fever, dizziness, twitching, or other discomforts, and there is no obvious trigger. She also has no history of epilepsy in her family. I want to ask which hospital is good for treating pediatric epilepsy?What kind of help is needed: Self-healing epilepsy
Doctor's answer:
For example, eyelid myoclonic absence epilepsy, also known as Jeavons syndrome, is clinically characterized by recurrent brief, rapidly repetitive eyelid myoclonic contractions, with no significant loss of consciousness or only mild consciousness impairment (accompanied by absence). The electroencephalogram (EEG) will also show synchronous generalized high-amplitude 3–5 Hz poly or discharges, which are brief in duration (1–5 seconds) and are often triggered by characteristic eye-closing movements. Therefore, an EEG must include a photic stimulation test to record synchronous EEG changes in order to diagnose the type of epilepsy. The local EEG is still not comprehensive enough.
